Groklaw presents Guidelines on Migrating to Open Source/Open Data Standards Software by Carlo Daffara. "The main drive for a successful migration to Open Source and Open Data Standards software(OS/ODS) always starts with a clear assessment of the IT landscape, a clear vision of the needs and benefits of the transitions and continual support. The differences of OS development models and support may require a significant change in the way software and services are accounted for and procured, and in general a shift of responsibility from outside contractors to in-house personnel."
