Open-source software is almost universal in the enterprise, a survey from analyst group Garner has confirmed. New research has highlighted quite how pervasive open-source software (OSS) has become, with 85% of companies currently using OSS and the remaining 15% expecting to in the next 12 months. The findings come from a Gartner survey in May and June 2008, which covered 274 end-user organizations in Asia/Pacific, Europe and North America, and raise a series of management issues for businesses.
