Third Open Source Barometer Published

Published 09:04, 12 November 08

Open source is one of the major trends of this decade. Much analysis is based on very small sample sizes. ECM gives an interesting view of the role of open source in an enterprise stack as it sits on top of the stack integrating with both the infrastructure and end user tools.

The third edition of the Open Source Barometer was designed to investigate the impact of Enterprise 2.0 technologies and SharePoint on the stack. Specifically, the following categories were used to drive the survey questions:

Content Management
Collaboration
Portal
Business Process
Business Intelligence
Search

The new questions in the third edition of the survey were “for each of the following technologies please indicate which platform or application you are using or intend to use Alfresco on”:

Portal
Blog
Wiki
Business Process Management (BPM)
Business Intelligence (BI)
Blog
Architecture
Rich Internet Application (RIA)

As well as the previous survey questions related to use of:

Operating System
Application Server

This survey was conducted from April 1st to September 30th 2008 using data provided by the 25,163 new members of the Alfresco community who joined in that period (the current membership is in excess of 74,000).
