Which of the following is the major gain to deploying open source software (OSS)?
Mitigation of the risk of being locked into a single provider
Ability to more easily customize program source code
Reduction of the effort of performing system upgrades
Reduction of the total cost of ownership (TCO)
From a strategic point of view, if an organization decides that it is undesirable to rely on a single provider for a software solution, the organization may decide to embrace an OSS strategy. Additionally, there are multiple providers of OSS. Many OSS applications are available free of charge, although there may be some costs related to converting to OSS. While there may be costs for technical support services, the overall TCO will be lower with OSS compared to using proprietary software. Being able to customize source code is one of the benefits of introducing OSS. Although the methods of performing system upgrades are similar, the effort is not significantly lower when using OSS. It is possible that OSS may come with frequent upgrades, and it is up to the organization to decide whether the upgrades are necessary.
