The use of open source software is pretty much a forgone conclusion in the federal market but its power as a market disruptor is just now beginning to be felt as more agencies adopt a bimodal IT strategy.

Attendees listened in on panelists who discussed the implication of open source and bimodal IT from a technology, policy and business management perspective, including:

• Customer needs and expectations
• How this market shift opens opportunities for smart contractors and vendors to make inroads with customers
• Specific ways companies have adjusted their go-to-market strategies vs competitors
• What approaches worked and which ones failed
• The future of open source solutions

Attendees also had the opportunity to learn from their peers and heard real-life examples from the open source trenches.
