The Open Source Collaboration Study: Viewpoints on Security & Privacy in the US & EMEA

Ponemon Institute is pleased to present the Open Source Collaboration Study conducted in the US & EMEA. The study found that overall, IT professionals' perceptions of commercial open source software for messaging and collaboration are more positive than their perceptions of proprietary software. Common to both the US and EMEA, is IT professionals' dissatisfaction with their current messaging and collaboration platforms, the majority of which are proprietary solutions. And, while IT professionals in the US and EMEA disagree on the relative importance of security versus privacy, there is agreement among IT professionals that commercial open source software offers better cost, control, quality and business continuity than proprietary software.
