Abstract: Information Systems (IS) literature shows a huge interest for open source technologies as well as from IT (Information Technology) strategies, business models or organization. Nevertheless, research on the application of open source in mission-critical systems is particularly scant. By means of an exploratory study, this article describes the way by which Thales, a firm specialized in mission-critical fields (defense, aircraft industry and security), has setup an ad hoc IT strategy that integrates open source technologies. This strategy relies on a competence center which aiming at acquisition, development and transmission of knowledge inside and outside firm boundaries. Based on this empirical material and the relevant literature, this article suggests a framework for the integration of open source in IT strategy.
