IT executives need software that is more flexible, customizable, open, robust, and efficient as well as less expensive from a total cost of ownership point of view.

Foran of FSW Inc., and Mark Winz of OpenLogic examine the interoperability of implemented proprietary software and OSS, evaluate the risks and benefits of adapting and using OSS, and discuss the impact of patent legislation on using OSS. http://xtalks.com/opensrc2.ashx
