Open Source software has evolved into a second generation called Professional Open Source. Professional Open Source software is characterized by companies that:

1. Hire and pay experts in the open source community to write software full-time.
2. Utilize open source licenses that are friendly to end-user IT shops, independent software cendors, and the community itself.
3. Offer support subscription services backed by real experts, consulting, and training.

At Vizuri, we have partnered with leaders in the Professional Open Source market and have delivered solutions to the Fortune 1000 and federal agencies including the US Navy, Orbitz, Intuit, GE Healthcare, Daiwa Securities, NBC, Celgene, and the Smithsonian Institution.
