This morning, Forrester analyst Lauren Nelson dropped a bombshell: “41 percent of enterprise decision makers say that increasing use of open source is a high or critical priority for 2016.”
In other news, those same decision makers report that they breathe air.
The crazy thing about this finding is that 59 percent of decision makers don’t realize that they, too, will increase their use of open source in 2016 out of dire necessity, even if they don’t recognize it. They’ll embrace Hadoop, Spark, and other big data platforms. They’ll run Linux, buy Android smartphones for their employees, and have open source undergirding nearly every essential workload within their enterprises.
