OSI Days 2014 Calls CIOs and IT Heads to Share Their Success Stories of Open Source Deployments

BANGALORE, October 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Looking to understand how you can cut down your IT budgets while deploying the best solution out there? Well, Open Source India 2014 will surely be of help. Fondly known as OSI Days, Asia's leading conference on Open Source is scheduled to happen on 7-8 November 2014, at the NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bengaluru.

Gone are the days when enterprises feared using open source technology. Times have changed and so have the mindsets of people. From being a niche concept, the open source movement has evolved into a robust philosophy. Businesses today are waking up to the potential of open source software as a viable and robust revenue model, and that explains the large-scale open source software deployments across varied verticals.

Propagating the philosophy and power of open source technology, OSI Days 2014 invites all CIOs and IT heads to share their success stories on how open source has helped them scale their ventures and enhance their business' profitability.

Speaking about the initiative, Rahul Chopra, editor, Open Source For You, said, "Open Source India has been at the forefront of bringing together the open source industry and the community over the last decade. The 11th edition of OSI aims to take this event a notch higher by bridging the gap between the industry and the community. We provided a platform for open source success stories to be shared at OSI Days 2013, that was received very well by the audience. Taking it a step ahead, we are introducing a full track of open source success stories where the CIOs and IT heads will talk about their successful open source technology deployments in their companies and how they have benefited from that. The idea is to clear the doubts in the minds of those who think that their businesses could be at risk if they resorted to open source technology."

A few success stories that will be the highlight of the show this year would include that of Rediff.com, Bookmyshow.com, Justdial, Cleartrip.com and Goibibo.com. So, if you wish to share your insightful success story at this mega convention, write to us at [email protected].

The 11th edition of Open Source India is a two-day conference-cum-expo which will have tracks ranging from cloud computing and mobile app development to kernel development, and FOSS for everyone. In addition, there will be presentations by IT thought leaders, discussions and workshops, and a perfect platform that provides your business with networking opportunities to help you reach out to your target audience.
