1) 90% of software depends on open-source code
Open-source software is software available under licenses that allow anyone to access, modify, and share it freely. At OSPO Now, we also emphasize that open source is a set of best practices rooted in transparency, collaboration, user-centric design, and reusability.
2) Open source is 4x cheaper than alternativesEmbracing open source can significantly reduce development costs, enhance transparency, and build stronger connections with users. Whether you're a well-established enterprise, emerging start-up, non-profit, or a governmental organisation, open source will benefit you.
3) OSPOs meaningfully and positively impact organisationsOSPOs provide oversight for open source engagement within organisations. OSPOs offer huge benefits: better compliance, faster development, increased innovation, and more. Open source requirements rapidly change and so we provide a flexible and scalable solution on demand, without the overhead of a permanent team.
