Industrial Open Source: are you ready to take the leap?
10 questions to find out in 5 minutes
Open source numerical simulation is attracting more and more industrial companies. But are you ready to take the leap? This checklist helps you objectively assess your maturity.
Technical experience
Our technical teams have already used Open Source tools (development, infrastructure, office productivity).
Budget constraints
We have identified processes where licensing costs are a barrier to our capacity for innovation or scaling.
IT leadership openness
Our CTO/CIO is open to exploring alternatives to current proprietary tools.
Resources for support
We have a budget for training, support or hiring specialist skills.
Testing capacity
We are willing to test an Open Source solution on a non-critical pilot project before potentially rolling it out more broadly.
Sovereignty concerns
Technological sovereignty and independence from software vendors are strategic priorities for our company.
Customisation needs
Our business processes require adaptations or customisations that proprietary solutions do not easily support.
Innovation culture
Our company encourages experimentation and accepts a degree of controlled risk when adopting new technologies.
Scalability constraints
Our simulation needs are growing and current licensing models are becoming limiting.
Traceability requirements
We require full transparency over the algorithms used (audit, certification, regulatory compliance).
