We are currently developing an Open Source (OS) Policy for our company. To guide us through this process, we are following several Gartner publications. However, we are also looking for real-world implementation cases. Do you know of any examples of OS Policy implementation that you could share with us?

In relation to our business, there is a list of eligible OS license models existing, where any OS is assessed against. This is to prevent compliance issues.
Aside, an assessment of the status of the software like active in development (by a significant number of community developers) and last updated gives a hint on the business risk of certain products or libraries, being outdated or not maintained any more (including cybersecurity risks!).
This holds in particular for data science libs.

It largely depends on how you plan to use open source. I am a big fan of using open source solutions, but in an enterprise setting, it's important to consider the full context. Often, compliance and legal issues come into play, so I would definitely consult that part of the organization.

How long does your organization retain original systems logs used to filter SOX-related actions into a system that requires review of the logs and retains the filtered logs for seven years? Does your organization consider those original system logs records subject to record retention requirements, or supporting information used to create the SOX records?

We are looking at a likely re-deployment of Dynamics CRM due to an upcoming Sales and business unit organizational re-alignment. While Gartner typically has content on vendors in a particular technology space, I was hoping to potentially find some integration/migration partner recommendations. We have 7 years of "history" in our existing Dynamics deployment. We expect the roles and security  to change significantly. We also anticipate the potential of adding a new "enterprise" customer identifier as some current customers are currently duplicated across subsidiary companies. I wanted to bypass personally reviewing the 135 peer reviews. Any real-life experiences to share?

Which tech conference do you intend to attend in person next year or have already participated in this year, and what motivated your choice?
