One of my old customers is a big player in the food industry, and we did Liferay consulting and architecture work for them this summer. Liferay Portal represents a platform for them to drive more revenue from their existing customers and serve them better--simply put, the technology is being leveraged as a strategic business weapon.
Besides Liferay, they are also taking advantage of Alfresco for enterprise document management internally. What's next? They are exploring other mature open source software alternatives to cut down enterprise software licensing costs from the big ISVs in areas such as CMS, ESB, messaging, BPM, etc. Since we live and breathe open source software, we are working with them to infuse new ideas and approaches to save them money and provide more freedom over their software options.
It's very refreshing to hear about how a large organization in a mature industry with thin margins is reaping the benefits of solutions, and with our Liferay services, Alfresco consulting, Drupal (CMS) expertise, Fuse and Mule ESB knowledge, etc. we have a great fit for mutual success!
