CIOs who have not yet adopted open-source or software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions are absolutely going to have a huge wake-up call in the coming years, when they realize they cannot adjust their technology budget to the current economic conditions or to the changing revenue streams of their companies.

But there’s still time to jump on the new software train, and the offerings are even better now than they were during the 2001 economic downturn. Open-source, subscription-based or next-generation software solutions offer safe, more secure and better ways to run IT on a pay-as-you-go basis. You’ll no longer be financially locked in, with your budget at the mercy of propriety software vendors.
