  • Abstract
    Open source software use is amassing a long list of benefits, among them higher software quality. Enterprises that are still discouraged by the task of converting existing software might find that modernization building blocks can make that task easier. Adapting or converting to OSS need not be overwhelming, if the organization considers the entire modernization plan, considers what various application types require, and does not undertake too much conversion at once.
