Open Source

Open source software as a term has evolved several definitions; however, it fundamentally refers to software for which the underlying 'source' code is available for inspection and modification by anyone interested in doing so. Open-source software has over the last decade been building momentum in the IT world that built the Internet and the World Wide Web. With the acceleration brought in by Linux operating system, it has soon spread across enterprise applications and more importantly on the Internet. Open-source web content management products have particularly been widely accepted for targeted and tactical deployments. Reduced vendor lock-in and larger user community has made this 'open source' software development grow at an astonishing pace as opposed to conventional development. With more acceptances from across the different industries and also the state departments, the vendors have realized the need for embracing this concept and rolling out products which meet with open source standards.
