UK at bottom of Open Source adoption league

Research carried out by Forrester has found that the UK was bottom in the adoption of open source software with an adoption rate of only 15%.

France was found to be top of the table with 24% of companies taking onboard open source software.

It was found that organisations are adopting open source software because of the cost benefits that are yielded.

The only good news for the UK was that it is expected that it will take over Canada within the next 12 months moving them from the bottom of the league.
