Open-source software is practically ubiquitous in the private technology sector. In fact, 97% of all codebases use open-source code. Why? Open source provides the building blocks that allow organizations to enhance their services and innovate for their customers. Its strength lies in the fact that developers worldwide constantly create, evaluate, and improve the underlying code to fix vulnerabilities and ease implementation.
Read MoreAs of 2022, 97% of all codebases relied on open-source code, making it practically ubiquitous in the tech sector. Open-source software is widely known to drive innovation and increase speed-to-market while ensuring that organizations are leveraging the most up-to-date tech innovations. But despite its prevalence broadly, the public sector has been more reticent to adopt open-source practices. Why? Complex procurement processes combined with security concerns mean that it often feels easier for government IT departments to continue using custom-built software by default.
