Let’s reiterate the top 5 steps organizations take in order to adopt open source:

1. Creating an Open-Source Talent Pool – Hiring and training individuals in Open-Source Technologies
2. Automating OSS Governance by Implementing Software Composition Analysis
3. Determine the need for Commercial Support by Assessing the Level of Risk and Availability of Internal Skills
4. Incorporate the Right Open-Source Tools based on the Functional Requirements of the Pipeline
5. Onboard a reliable open source services vendor who can partner your digital initiatives, bring an unbiased approach, build and support your business-critical applications
