Unlock ing Strategic Business Value Through Open-Source Migrations 

As enterprises navigate complex digital transformation journeys, several pressing challenges continue to surface: 

• Rising costs of proprietary software and infrastructure are squeezing IT budgets and limiting scalability. 

• Vendor lock-in is hindering innovation, reducing flexibility, and slowing down modernization efforts. 

• Legacy systems are becoming increasingly incompatible with evolving security, performance, and compliance requirements. 

• Sustainability mandates and ESG expectations are pushing enterprises to rethink their tech choices. 

• Innovation bottlenecks are emerging due to closed ecosystems and long dependency chains. 

These challenges are no longer just technical, they impact business agility, operational efficiency, and long-term competitiveness. 

There is a growing demand among CIOs, CTOs, and IT leaders to overcome the limitations posed by legacy systems. As organizations seek to reduce total cost of ownership without compromising performance, align their IT infrastructure with sustainability goals, foster agility and autonomy, and enable innovation at scale, open-source platforms like Linux and PostgreSQL are increasingly being recognized as more than just alternatives—they are becoming strategic infrastructure choices that directly address these evolving enterprise needs. 

In response to this shift, this offers a strategic and collaborative platform for technology leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue. The discussion will focus on understanding the long-term business value of open-source migrations, learning from real-world success stories and proven frameworks, and exploring how open source contributes to ESG mandates. Participants will also gain valuable insights into how open-source adoption aligns with the ARAG framework—promoting Agility, Resilience, Autonomy, and Growth—while also networking with peers and industry experts tackling similar transformation challenges. 

Ultimately, the roundtable aims to deliver strategic clarity, peer-driven learning, and actionable takeaways for IT decision-makers looking to modernize their infrastructure, reduce operational costs, and remain future-ready through the power of open-source innovation.
