Open source software would in 2007 get the architectural backing and distribution channels it needed to gain acceptance from enterprise customers that aimed to deploy enterprise applications at a lower per-transaction cost, Unisys said.

"There are literally hundreds of thousands of open source projects in the world today," said Anthony Gold, vice-president and general manager, open source business, Unisys.

"Until now, Linux has been one of the most mature and widely adopted elements. In 2007, Unisys sees the entire open source stack attaining a similar inflection point in adoption for critical mainstream business solutions such as business intelligence and enterprise content management," he added.
