Adoption Strategy
OpenCrowd's Adoption Strategy helps organizations find, evaluate, select, and plan the rollout of their best opportunities to use open source technologies.
Challenges
Deciding what open source technologies to use in your enterprise requires careful consideration. There are thousands of open source technologies that organizations can use, but only a small subset that are right for a particular organization's needs and fit with their business, technical, and risk management objectives.
Finding the right opportunities among the many choices requires careful analysis of your:
- Current and future application needs
- Risks and impacts of adoption
- Compatibility with closed source technologies in your environment
- Viability of the open source project
- Readiness to bring a technology into your organization
- Cost-benefit analysis for each technology
Only through a full and thorough understanding will the best decisions be made and accepted in IT organizations.
What we offer
OpenCrowd partners with our clients to identify the right open source software for them to use. We can quickly identify the set of projects that is relevant to our clients' business and technology objectives, and create a realistic implementation approach for technologies they decide to adopt. Clients benefit from our extensive knowledge of open source and closed source technologies, the state of open source adoption, and our extensive experience working in complex IT environments bringing new technologies to production.
Specifically, the Adoption Strategy helps our clients:
- Identify open source opportunities that best meet their needs, current technical environment, and risk criteria
- Quantify the business benefits and the cost savings associated with adopting open source software
- Define a realistic and actionable roadmap to adopt open source solutions, and
- Identify and mitigate implementation risks and organizational readiness challenges
The Adoption Strategy provides an objective analysis of the open source opportunity and accelerates adoption decisions for our clients. We realize the job is not done at that point and will partner with clients to see adoption though to production.
