Unlike proprietary software, open-source software is developed and modified by a community rather than a single author or company. This decentralized, collaborative approach to source code provides an added level of flexibility that prevents lock-in and keeps organizations agile. Open-source software is also a strategic asset – owning source code keeps governments up to date with market-leading trends and is an economic advantage that can lower costs.
