How much do you know about open systems?

Posted by Stuart Brocklehurst (Group Communications Director, Amadeus IT Group)

This coming Monday, 17th September, sees the launch - on this very blog - of a brand new white paper sponsored by Amadeus. Entitled 'Open for business', and authored by leading technology expert Professor Jim Norton, the paper will explore in detail the advantages and challenges of moving from closed to open systems. Highlighting specifically the evolution of Open Source Software, the report will also examine how it is being used by the world’s largest transaction processors, from stock exchanges to travel IT businesses.

But before the paper becomes available, we wanted to give you the chance to test your knowledge of open systems via the 4 questions below, so you can see how much you know about this important subject.
