Optaros Releases Open Source Catalogue

Optaros, a consulting and integration firm that provides enterprises with Internet applications leveraging open source software, has released its Open Source Catalogue 2007. The catalogue, compiled by Optaros’ consulting and integration organisation, addresses the need for IT Managers to have a deeper understanding of current enterprise-focused open source projects and products, the company claimed. The document specifically reviews 262 projects in four software categories including operating systems and infrastructure, application development, infrastructure solutions and business applications. The catalogue is available now for download from Optaros’ Web site here.

"One of the major barriers to utilising open source software is confusion of what options are available to IT managers and the benefits that these solutions bring to the enterprise," said Bruno von Rotz, vice president of Optaros Switzerland.

"Open source continues to see increased adoption in the enterprise and we are extremely encouraged by this fast growing trend," said Dave Gynn, director of enterprise tools and frameworks at Optaros.
