platforms-as-a-service (PaaS), companies will need to be mindful of
interoperability so each application will be able to work with the
rest in their enterprise stack, Feldmann explained.

“However, he noted that this focus on open standards does not
necessarily mean companies will be fully reliant on open-source
software, because a mature developer community may not exist for
certain niche applications.”
