25. Our constraints
One example : AIRBUS A300
• Program began in 1972 and
will stop in 2007
2007-1972 = 35 years...
• Support will last until 2050

2050-1972 = 78 years !!!

31. Open Source is the Freedom to
Control Your Own Destiny
OSS Freedoms*
Freedom 0
to run the program,
for any purpose
Freedom 1
to study how the program works,
and change it to
make it do what you wish
Freedom 2
to redistribute copies
Freedom 3
to distribute copies of your
modified versions to others

32. Open Source offers a new option
by combining the best of “Make” and “Buy”
Option: Make
bespoke software
+ Software tailored
to the user needs
– Very high total cost
and project risks
in software
development
– Becomes legacy in the
future
30 April 2010
VS.
Option: Buy
commercial software
+ Reduces project risks
in software
development
– User with very limited
influence in the
development
– Total cost still high
VS.
Option: Use
Open Source software
+ User may influence
further development
+ Significantly reduced
project risks and costs
+ Is a de-facto standard
+ Legacy costs are
shared

33. Business Drivers
 Identify precisely what your IT competitive differentiators are
for your customers
 Focus all possible energies there, and acquire everything else
from OSS, or help build it in OSS
Value
Platform
30 April 2010
Build this in
and with open
source, even if
that means
working with
your direct
competitors.

Focus on your value
Co-develop the platform in
collaboration with others
