Open Source Custom Market Research
Reliance on proprietary technology does three things for the bottom line. It increases equipment and operating cost; it slows the ability to innovate; and it locks one to the future of a particular vendor, according to Red Hat and others.
Against this backdrop, the vast market for open source today touches everything in communications technology and services. Here are some examples:
PBX Deployment Models – dedicated hardware, cloud, and virtualized PBX software – have embraced open source for 2-decades
SIP Trunks – internet and private connection – are multiplying the number of deployments thanks to open source
Endpoints - Sales of softphones and desktop appliances soar with the growth of open source
Service Providers - Tier 1 service providers, have already embraced open source – and tier 2, and tier 3 service providers are all moving to open source to build agile software defined networks (SDN). Open source drives down operating and capital expenditures for SPs – and they can get something to market quickly.
