- Open source has become the de facto way to build software. More developers are embracing this because it offers a broader ecosystem of ideas and viewpoints to generate innovations, and quicken the speed of software development. No single company could accomplish what is delivered through open source community.
- Companies are leveraging open source innovations more frequently in their product and service offerings, contributing to the community and using it to chart their own course in the evolving networking landscape.
- As companies and developers use open source code to build their own commercial products and services, they also gain strategic value in contributing back to those projects. Open source reduces time and optimizes effort, while improving efficiencies and interoperability. Open source communities are also a key driver for building consensus across the industry, filling gaps, and driving adoption by vendors, integrations, end users.
