Accelerate deployment of mobile
payments using Open Source
Understand the benefits and how to govern its use effectively
Introduction
Mark Driver of Gartner states that “Open source is ubiquitous.
Having a policy against open source is impractical and places
you at a competitive disadvantage”. The financial services
and payments industry is undergoing major change as a result
of advances in mobile technology, software, social media
and higher consumer expectations. Here we examine the
opportunity that open source presents for the financial sector.
We establish how open source software can speed up the
development of mobile financial services, while reducing costs,
improving quality and accelerating uptake. This paper also
highlights the importance of understanding exactly what open
source components are in use within an organisation, and
whether the legal, security, intellectual property and quality
risks are being effectively managed.
