Niklas Andersson has dedicated his work to open source. Today, he works at Tetra Pak to support them in their open-source journey. In this episode of IT Talks, he talks about the emergence of open source and how large companies need to think in order to undergo the transformation from closed to open standards.
He emphasizes the importance of standards, as open source can also lead to product lock-ins - whereas open standards can be used in multiple products. Furthermore, we get insights into the trend that more and more large companies are choosing to invest in open source, and how the proportion of open source will continue to increase in the future.

Johan Magnusson is a professor at the Department of Applied IT at the University of Gothenburg and active in the Swedish Center for Digital Innovation. He returns to IT Talks after his debut in 2021. In this episode, Johan discusses how authorities should approach digitalization to overcome the challenges within public sectors.
Historically, Sweden has excelled in computerization with internet and broadband, but currently, it has fallen behind, utilizing cheap options and suppliers who largely monopolize the market. This dependency on a digital infrastructure that we have not financed or modernized ourselves poses challenges.
Finally, Johan emphasizes that understanding IT and digitalization is key. Development must occur in open environments with open-source and open APIs to avoid dependence on expertise deep within the system.
