Survey Software HQ

Excerpt: A Forrester survey for Unisys shows over half of large enterprises now use open source for mission critical operations. Four out of five (79%) use it in what Forrester calls their “application infrastructure” — databases, Web servers, application servers. The point of the survey was to show that these customers want more services from vendors, things like maintenance, life cycle support, integration and application development. This is the “sweet spot” for companies like Unisys, and has been the sweet spot at IBM for several years now.
