Helping your boss see the benefits of open source requires a thoughtful approach and strong arguments. Cost savings, adaptability, collaboration and innovation, security and reliability, and business opportunities are all compelling reasons to use open source software. Cost savings come from avoiding the high licensing costs associated with proprietary software; customisation allows for unique solutions tailored to the business; collaboration and innovation result from the collective knowledge and expertise of many developers; security and reliability are ensured through rigorous testing and verification; and business opportunities can come from contributing to open source projects and building a reputation as an industry leader. To make a successful case, present these arguments and provide examples of successful companies that have embraced open source. It may also be helpful to start small and experiment with open source software in a low-risk environment before committing further.
