Education IT chiefs debate open source
,----[ Quote ]
| The concept of open source software seems so firmly entrenched in higher
| education that it comes as almost a shock to realize there's actually a
| debate over it. But debate there was, civilized and trenchant, this week
| during the annual Educause conference on high technology in higher education
| in the US.
|
| "It's really tough to take [commercial software] systems built for a
| corporate world and stick them into an education world," said Bradley
| Wheeler, vice president for IT and CIO at Indiana University, adding that one
| recent book estimated education globally would spent US$5.5 billion
| installing ERP, much of it in modifying commercial software to meet
| institutional needs. "We spend so much money trying to hard fit those things
| in."
