Devis provided information for the ITM story How your open source company can begin government contracting.
The article describes some of the issues faced by new companies to the market and what the business case is for open source in government. Describing some of the valuation issues in favor of open source Devis President Peter Gallagher said "The myth is when you buy off-the-shelf software, there are reduced customization costs. With open source, you still have to customize, but the customization is public. The ability to share across federal agencies — state and local, too — has a huge value proposition for the federal government."
Devis regularly supports efforts to communicate the potential for "public infostructure" as one option for our Government clients.
