FEATURE : CIO STRATEGIES
Open source communities are proving who really controls essential data and analytics technologies
Today , vendors that choose to shift their open source solutions to proprietary licensing are increasingly met with immediate reprisals . Project communities now have the power to lead and support high-quality open source forks that render those original vendors unnecessary and irrelevant .
An important crossroads in analytics strategy
CIOs stand at a rare and pivotal moment of opportunity right now . Leaders can now position their enterprises to achieve significantly more rapid and efficient insights , by anticipating and embracing strategies around analytics technology trends that will be synonymous with enterprise success for years to come . p
A stark example was recently provided by Elasticsearch , where the vendor introduced a more proprietary license that swiftly precipitated the community ’ s introduction of OpenSearch .
I expect this trend will only intensify moving forward , driving savvy CIOs and other enterprise technology leaders to embrace open source data and analytics tooling wherever possible . ( And also : what CIO isn ’ t under increasing budget constraints right now ? The cost and flexibility advantages of using fully open source data and analytics technologies are only going to get more appealing-and CIOs can adopt them without sacrificing performance or features .)
A GROWING NUMBER OF CIOS ARE CHAMPIONING
TRANSFORMATIVE ANALYTICS CAPABILITIES
WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS .
