Session Mastering the Open Source Triple Play Michael Tiemann, Vice President, Open Source Affairs, RedHat, Inc. Track: Open Source Business Review Date: Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005 Time: 2:35pm - 3:20pm Location: E145 Is it possible to increase revenue while reducing IT spending and increasing support for collaboration in a company? Michael Tiemann says yes. Open source plays a vital role in achieving his vision. This session will take OSBR attendees on a tour through ideas in fields as diverse as finance, enterprise architecture, user-driven innovation, as well as many others. The role that open source plays in achieving a series of difficult to accomplish goals for IT departments is explained. Tiemann then explains how to weave all of these ideas into a practical program for radically improving not only IT support for business but the business as well. Tiemann has developed this theory over years of working with IT departments at companies of all sizes. His program will include practical advice for how to succeed in implementing the program.
