“Open source software, for all it’s flexibility and
customization, is going to be a difficult sell to senior management
— especially in larger organizations where establishment and
toeing the line is the norm. And despite all the advances in open
source software, many still perceive it as being “not serious” and
used exclusively by small groups of freewheeling techies who have
no business sense. Free or not, management is much more likely to
pour money into an established tool from one of the “Big
Guys.””
