Enterprises today stand at the foot of a mountain of technical debt and needed software upgrades. As the software industry ships more versions faster and faster, and with more bugs and vulnerabilities, followed by subsequent patches to address them all, the typical enterprise just cannot keep up.

Open source software adds an additional layer of complexity to that equation. This document highlights critical challenges that modern enterprises face when choosing open source support vendors and describes why Tanzu Spring, Broadcom’s first-party support offering, provides the most comprehensive enterprise support option. Tanzu Spring is the only first-party enterprise support plan that covers the entire critical Java stack: Spring, Apache Tomcat, and the JDK. Organizations that rely on Tanzu Spring can channel their energy into innovating for their businesses, instead of draining their energy on risk management and remediation.
