4 ways open source gives you a competitive edge
|
||||
======
|
||||
Using open source technology can help organizations drive better
|
||||
business outcomes.
|
||||
![Open ethernet cords.][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Building a tech stack is a major decision for every organization. While picking the right tools will set your team up for success, picking the wrong solutions or platforms can have devastating effects on productivity and profitability. To succeed in today's fast-paced world, organizations must make smart investments in digital solutions that enable them to move faster and increase operational agility.
|
||||
|
||||
This is precisely why more and more organizations of all sizes and across all industries are embracing open source solutions. According to a recent [McKinsey][2] report, open source adoption is the biggest differentiator for top-performing organizations.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are four reasons why adopting open source technology can help organizations drive competitive advantage and experience better business outcomes.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1\. Extensibility and flexibility
|
||||
|
||||
Suffice it to say the world of technology moves quickly. For example, Kubernetes didn't exist before 2014, but today, it's impressively ubiquitous. According to the CNCF's [2020 Cloud Native Survey][3], 91% of teams are using Kubernetes in some form.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the main reasons organizations are investing in open source is because it enables them to operate with agility and rapidly integrate new technologies into their stack. That's compared to the more traditional approach, where teams would take quarters or even years to vet, implement, and adopt software—making it impossible for them to pivot with any sense of urgency.
|
||||
|
||||
Since open source solutions offer complete access to source code, teams can easily connect the software to the other tools they use every day.
|
||||
|
||||
Simply put, open source enables development teams to build the perfect tool for what is at hand instead of being forced to change how they work to fit into how inflexible proprietary tools are designed.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2\. Security and high-trust collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
In the age of high-profile data breaches, organizations need highly secure tools that enable them to keep sensitive data secure.
|
||||
|
||||
When vulnerabilities exist in proprietary solutions, they're often undiscovered until it's too late. Unfortunately for the teams using these platforms, the lack of visibility into source code means they're essentially outsourcing security to the specific vendor and hoping for the best.
|
||||
|
||||
Another main driver of open source adoption is that open source tools enable organizations to take control over their own security. For example, open source projects—particularly those with large communities—tend to receive more responsible vulnerability disclosures because everyone using the product can thoroughly inspect the source code.
|
||||
|
||||
Since the source code is freely available, such disclosures often come with detailed proposed solutions for fixing bugs. This enables dev teams to remedy issues faster, continuously strengthening the software.
|
||||
|
||||
In the age of remote work, it's more important than ever for distributed teams to collaborate while knowing that sensitive data stays protected. Since open source solutions allow organizations to audit security while maintaining complete control over their data, they can facilitate the high-trust collaboration needed to thrive in remote environments.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3\. Freedom from vendor lock-in
|
||||
|
||||
According to a [recent study][4], 68% of CIOs are concerned about vendor lock-in. They should be. When you're locked into a piece of technology, you're forced to live with someone else's conclusions instead of making your own.
|
||||
|
||||
Proprietary solutions often make it [challenging to take data with you][5] when an organization switches vendors. On the other hand, open source tools offer the freedom and flexibility needed to avoid vendor lock-in and take data wherever an organization wants to go.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4\. Top talent and community
|
||||
|
||||
As more and more companies [embrace remote work][6], the war for talent is becoming even more competitive.
|
||||
|
||||
In the world of software development, landing top talent starts with giving engineers access to modern tools that enable them to reach their full potential at work. Since developers increasingly [prefer open source solutions][7] to proprietary counterparts, organizations should strongly consider open source alternatives to their commercial solutions to attract the best developers on the market.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to making it easier to hire and retain top talent, open source platforms also enable companies to tap into a community of contributors for advice on how to walk through problems and get the most out of the platform. Plus, members of the community also [contribute to open source projects directly][8].
|
||||
|
||||
### Open source offers freedom
|
||||
|
||||
Open source software is increasingly popular among enterprise teams—[for good reason][9]. It gives teams the flexibility needed to build the perfect tool for the job while enabling them to maintain a highly secure environment. At the same time, an open source approach allows teams to maintain control of their future, rather than being locked into one vendor's roadmap. And it also gives companies access to talented engineers and members of the open source community.

4 ways open source gives you a competitive edge
|
||||
开源为你带来竞争优势的 4 条理由
|
||||
======
|
||||
使用开源技术可以帮助组织获得更好的业务结果。
|
||||
![开放式以太网线缆][1]
|
||||
|
||||
构建技术栈是每个组织的主要决策。选择合适的工具将让团队获得成功，选择错误的解决方案或平台会对生产率和利润率产生毁灭性影响。为了在当今快节奏的世界中脱颖而出，组织必须明智地选择数字解决方案，好的数字解决方案可以提升团队行动力与运营敏捷性。
|
||||
|
||||
这就是为什么越来越多的组织都采用开源解决方案的原因，这些组织来自各行各业，规模有大有小。根据[麦肯锡][2]最近的报告，高绩效组织的最大区别是采用不同的开源方案。
|
||||
|
||||
采用开源技术可以帮助组织提高竞争优势、获得更好业务成果的原因有以下四点。
|
||||
|
||||
### 1\. 可拓展性和灵活性
|
||||
|
||||
可以说，技术世界发展很快。例如，在2014年之前，Kubernetes 并不存在，但今天，它却令人印象深刻，无处不在。根据 CNCF [2020 云原生调查][3]，91% 的团队正在以某种形式使用 Kubernetes。
|
||||
|
||||
组织投资开源的一个主要原因是因为开源赋予组织行动敏捷性，组织迅速将新技术集成到技术栈中。这与传统方法不同，在传统方法中，团队需要几个季度甚至几年来审查、实施、采用软件，这导致团队不可能实现火速转变。
|
||||
|
||||
开源解决方案完整地提供源代码，团队可以轻松将软件与他们每天使用的工具连接起来。
|
||||
|
||||
简而言之，开源让开发团队能够为手头的东西构建完美的工具，而不是被迫改变工作方式来适应不灵活的专有工具。
|
||||
|
||||
### 2\. 安全性和高可信的协作
|
||||
|
||||
在数据泄露备受瞩目的时代，组织需要高度安全的工具来保护敏感数据的安全。
|
||||
|
||||
专有解决方案中的漏洞不易被发现，被发现时为时已晚。不幸的是，使用这些平台的团队无法看到源代码，本质上他们将安全性外包给特定供应商，希望得到最好的结果。
|
||||
|
||||
采用开源的另一个主要原因是开源工具使组织能够自己把控安全。例如，开源项目——尤其是大型开源社区的项目——往往会收到更负责任的漏洞披露，因为每个人在使用过程中都可以彻底检查源代码。
|
||||
|
||||
由于源代码是免费提供的，因此披露通常伴随着修复缺陷的详细建议解决方案。这些方案使得开发团队能够快速解决问题，不断增强软件。
|
||||
|
||||
在远程办公时代，协作的分布式团队知道敏感数据受到保护比以往任何时候都更重要。开源解决方案允许组织审核安全性、完成掌控自己数据，因此开源方案可以促进远程环境下高可信协作方式的成长。
|
||||
|
||||
### 3\. 不受供应商限制
|
||||
|
||||
根据[最近的一项研究][4]，68% 的 CIO 担心受供应商限制。当你受限于一项技术中，你会被迫接受别人的结论，而不是自己做结论。
|
||||
|
||||
当组织更换供应商时，专有解决方案通常会[给你带来数据使用挑战][5]。另一方面，开源工具提供了组织需要的自由度和灵活性，以避免受供应商限制，开源工具可以让组织把数据带去任意地方。
|
||||
|
||||
### 4\. 顶尖人才和社区
|
||||
|
||||
随着越来越多的公司[接受远程办公][6]，人才争夺战变得愈发激烈。
|
||||
|
||||
在软件开发领域，获得顶尖人才始于赋予工程师先进工具，让工程师在工作中充分发挥潜力。开发人员[越来越喜欢开源解决方案][7]而不是专有解决方案，组织应该强烈考虑用开源替代商业解决方案，以吸引市场上最好的开发人员。
|
||||
|
||||
除了雇佣、留住顶尖人才更容易，公司能够通过开源平台利用贡献者社区，得到解决问题的建议，从平台中得到最大收益。此外，社区成员还[直接贡献开源项目][8]。
|
||||
|
||||
### 开源带来自由
|
||||
|
||||
开源软件在企业团队中越来越受到欢迎——[这是有原因的][8]。它帮助团队灵活地构建完美的工作工具，同时使团队可以维护高度安全的环境。同时，开源允许团队掌控未来方向，而不是局限于供应商的路线图。开源还帮助公司接触才华横溢的工程师和开源社区成员。
