Promoting Open Source Collaboration

From our recent State of Open Source in Financial Services report, it indicates that financial organizations should engage in collaborative activities across various types of job functions to reap the benefits of open source.

Developing Open Source Governance

Have you read the The State of Open Source in Financial Services report yet? The report gives insight into open source leadership, governance, collaboration and much more.

One of the key findings show that respondents have an appetite to consume and contribute to open source but lack clarity about governance, policies, processes, tools and training.
