Overview
Moving away from a largely proprietary software world and towards OSS can be a big decision. This video helps you ensure that this decision works right for you and your organisation, and that can involve evaluating several different aspects of the move.
Also, a number of myths and misbeliefs abound concerning OSS. It is important to separate the facts from the fiction, so you can avoid misleading information that might lead you to make the wrong decision.
This video breaks the decision process down into a series of considerations (costs, licensing, quality, and so on). By doing so, you will understand the consequences involved and gain a useful framework for making the decision yourself. This video also educates you about prominent myths concerning OSS, thus helping you avoid being misled when making your evaluations.
What You Will Learn
- Systematically analyse the costs and benefits of moving to OSS
- Identify and overcome the hurdles in each software domain
