Gone are the days when enterprises feared using open source technology. Times have changed and so have the mindsets of people. From being a niche concept, the open source movement has evolved into a robust philosophy. Businesses today are waking up to the potential of open source software as a viable and robust revenue model, and that explains the large-scale open source software deployments across varied verticals. Recognising the power of open source technology, Indias largest open source community event - Open Source India 2013 -invites all CIOs and IT heads to share their success stories on how open source has helped them scale their ventures and enhance their business profitability.
