(ZEISS: Oberkochen, Germany) -- Free and open-source software (FOSS) has been the driving force of innovative software development for many years and is largely responsible for the blossoming of modern software ecosystems. The source code at its core is publicly available and can be viewed, further developed, and used and redistributed by anyone without restrictions. Collaborative development of software by individuals, but also across company boundaries, is made possible and facilitated based on these FOSS principles.

FOSS crucially important in the ongoing process of digitalization at ZEISS

ZEISS continues to drive technology-enabled change and make digitalization part of its DNA. Like many other companies, ZEISS is also expanding the use of FOSS in this context. This is applied in its work processes and flows into the development of its high-tech product portfolio.

FOSS is essential in the ongoing process of digitalization at ZEISS.
