Open Source software offers a number of opportunities to commercial product developers. Many software developers find it difficult to explore these options because they are unaware of the technologies, find the licensing requirements unclear or don't understand the process for getting involved.
Our team has demonstrated experience delivering commercial products that leverage Open Source software. Engaging our group in your Product Management process can help you accomplish your goals while designing to take advantage of some of the following benefits offered by an Open Source aware product road-map.
Team members of the Tribal Knowledge Group have been participants in the Open Source community for nearly two decades. Our contacts within this community and the hands-on experience we have had in building those communities has given us a unique vantage point not found within most research firms and other "Open Source Consultants". Our experiences integrating and replacing other commercial software in the enterprise allow us to give factual information on competition presented by Open Source solutions; objective information on where Open Source falls short; and strategic direction perspective on commerical companies leveraging Open Source or when they are missing the mark.

Collectively, the Tribal Knowledge Group offers decades of experience in the computing industry and espouses an experienced view of the industry and changes effected by Open Source throughout computing history.

Instead, we are all a part of that trend and have many years of experience where we are actually involved in the shaping of the Open Source community and mission.
Therefore, we are highly qualified to present an unbiased and comprehensive education on some of the following topics presented by the Open Source process.
