How Open Source Fuels Enterprise Innovation
It’s increasingly clear that open source software (OSS) is a smart bet, and data is key to increasing competitive advantage and accelerating growth. According to Gartner, much of the world’s application innovation is based on open source software. Companies already using a robust OSS data stack are twice as likely to attribute more than 20% of revenue to data and analytics.
Open source is an engine for innovation, offering reliability, scalability and security for IT leaders intent on future-proofing their infrastructure, building a powerful data strategy, and succeeding in a market that’s still reeling from the pandemic.
Join our discussion to learn more about how open source can help companies activate data in real time, use artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve customer relationships, and transform their business.
You’ll learn:
- How and why key open source technologies should play a central role in your data strategy
- How to leverage leading and emerging technologies to drive your own data strategy forward
- Best practices for aligning cultural as well as technical patterns for success to accelerate innovation

For more than 20 years he has helped large organizations build and execute strategy when they are seeking new ways forward and a future materially different from their past. He specializes in removing fear, uncertainty, and doubt from strategic decision-making through empirical data and market sensing.
In 2006, he was named the first Director of Open Source Strategy in the history of Microsoft. The company’s reorientation toward constructive engagement with Open Source developers, users, and buyers drove significant advances in business results, engagement with customers, and standing with regulators. Later he was instrumental in a task force that resulted in then-CEO Steve Ballmer’s 2010 landmark speech declaring that Microsoft was “all in” on cloud computing.
Bryan founded the Apigee Institute in 2013, bringing Apigee customers, world-class experts, and groundbreaking research together to help enterprises accelerate digital transformation. Following the company’s acquisition by Google, he led research and strategy for Google Cloud Developer Relations and DevOps Platform.
A frequent speaker at industry events on digital transformation and platform strategy, he has cultivated strong relationships with leading academic researchers on these topics for over a decade.
He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Yale University and lives in Seattle, Washington.
