It doesnt matter if you are going from closed source to open source or Apple to Microsoft or monkey shine to chimp dander. The risk is in moving from a model to which your business has adapted to another that may be less, or differently, suitable in some respects. Any change on this scale - regardless of the "from" or the "to" - needs to be risk managed. Any CIO who doesnt is a cowboy or just plain stupid.
One has to wonder if some people have ever had responsibility for anything more involved than a three-legged race at the county fair.
