According to research by Analyst group IDC, Asian countries are turning to open source software to help them cut IT costs driven by the current economic conditions.
IDC published two new reports on this subject namely “Asia/Pacific (Excluding Japan) Open Source Software Adoption in 2009” and “Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) Open Source Software Adoptions: Customer Case Study”.
Among the countries surveyed, nearly 34.5 percent of respondents from Indonesia mentioned that they plan to deploy an open source CRM application in next 18 months.Database management and Customer Relationship Management solutions were preferred choices among open source applications.
"Verticals like distribution services (13.0 per cent), infrastructure services (12.1 per cent) and public sector (11.8 per cent) plan to deploy open source for CRM applications within the next 18 months", IDC Asia/Pacific Enterprise Applications Research market analyst, Ridhi Sawhney, said in a release. "The public sector has started to consider open source not only because of obvious benefits from cost reductions, but also with an aim to build an ecosystem, lower the entry barrier, and promote open source adoption.”
