ADVERTORIAL: ENTERPRISE OPEN SOURCE USE RISES, PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE DECLINES

Last year, we set out to determine how IT leaders think about open source, why they choose it and what they intend to do with it in the future.

18 June 2020

The result was The 2019 State of Enterprise Open Source: A Red Hat Report. The findings were clear and confirmed what we see happening in the industry. Enterprise open source has become a default choice of IT departments around the world and organisations are using open source in categories that have historically been more associated with proprietary technology.

Going into the second year of the survey, we had a new directive in mind. We wanted to dive deeper into how IT leaders’ intentions and usage have changed. We surveyed 950 IT leaders in four regions. Respondents were not necessarily Red Hat customers and were unaware that Red Hat was the sponsor of this survey. This allowed us to get a more honest and broad view of the true state of enterprise open source.
