No - its french, so its pronounced PAHN-CACK-UH. Similar to how you might say 'Prawn Cracker'

(with a mandatory galic shrug of the shoulders)

Cherri Pancake? Really??

The biggest obstacle to using OSS in seriously large corporations is support.
 
I'm a lead architect on a seriously big project for a global scale logistics company right now. We use CouchDB, HudsonCI, Membase, EhCache and some other OSS stuff. Its used as core infrastructure on a global deployment to over 100 countries, supporting the entire platform, and handling in the tens-of-millions of messages per day - and I can say from bitter experience that while most managers will buy into the use of this stuff, unless they can buy 24/7 Gold Support with a 4 Hour response, it makes not a shred of difference how good this stuff is technically.
 
It all boils down to CYA - and no support means no CYA.....

Agreed - what the articel is basically saying is that IT needs to be better aligned with the business. This is what a decent Enterprise Architecture gives you, and its why more companies are now attempting to put these in place despite that fact that doing so costs big money up front before you start to see the benefits...
