IDC: Quality drives European open source adoption

European enterprises are adopting open source software on the grounds of
quality and flexibility, rather than merely considering it "good enough"
because it is inexpensive, according to a new survey from research firm IDC.
Besides confirming the widespread use of open source in important corporate
deployments, the survey challenges many received notions about open source in
business, said IDC analyst Bo Lykkegaard.
The study, entitled Western European End-User Survey: 2005 Spending
Priorities, Outsourcing, Open Source, and Impact of Compliance, found
substantial levels of "significant" open source deployment in the 625
companies surveyed, all of which had more than 100 employees. Twenty-five per
cent said they had significant open source operating system (Linux)
deployments the other three options were limited deployments, running pilots
or having the software under consideration.
That, however, was outstripped by the proportion with significant open source
database deployments, at about 33 per cent, according to Lykkegaard.
Databases, rather than operating systems, now seem to be leading open source
into the enterprise, and could pave the way for more open source, he said.
"Companies are increasingly talking about open source 'stacks', giving you a
full open source infrastructure to run applications on," he said. An example
is the LAMP stack, he said Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP or Perl. Despite the
press they get, open source development environments such as Eclipse didn't
make a significant showing in the survey, Lykkegaard said. The most important
motivator was that they could deploy whenever they wanted, without having to
go back to the vendor and negotiate over licences, without having to discuss
it with the CFO or looking at the cost implications.Bo Lykkegaardanalyst,
