I came across this while trying to find a good way for companies to quantify open
source projects. It's an excellent model and one that companies would do well
to adopt. It's also given me a good idea of how to improve my open-source offerings.
The model uses 27 different measurements, spanning from support and maturity to licensing
and standards support:
“In
order to be able to determine if an open source product is suitable for an organisation,
Capgemini has developed the Open Source Maturity Model. This model allows you to determine
if or which open source product is suitable using just seven clear steps.Not
only a good way to keep interesting but immature products away from your business,
but also an useful tool to objectify the discussion on applying Open Source in the
workplace. Given the current strong political interest for Open Source, having a professional
approach to open source products is an asset.“
