Computer Weekly, in association with ResearchNow Business,
surveyed 500 users to find out how likely they are to deploy open
source software in their businesses, given the current economic
crisis.
The majority of panellists were positive about open source
software, with a quarter (26%) already using it. A further 45%
stated that they were likely to use it, even if only for some
functions.
Use of open source software appears to be more common among
smaller organisations (those with less than 50 employees) and
organisations with turnover under £10m.
