LONDON, UK: Alfresco Software, Inc., provider of open source enterprise content management has announced the immediate availability of its first-ever global survey of trends in the use of open source software in the enterprise. The Alfresco open source barometer survey, conducted April through June 2007 using opt-in data provided by 10,000 of the 15,000 Alfresco community members, showed that Windows is increasingly a popular evaluation platform for open source software but most enterprises use Linux when they go into production. “The survey shows there is a clear leader at each level of the open source stack but also indicates an increasing trend for organizations to adopt a mixed stack, combining both open source and proprietary software, to enable use of best of breed components,” said Ian Howells, CMO, Alfresco Software Inc.
