Bologna achieves vendor independence for its office applications
,----[ Quote ]
| The administration of the Italian city of
| Bologna has almost completed its move to
| OpenOffice. Most of the 3600 PCs now run this
| open source suite of office applications. The
| administration is planning to move more
| applications to open source, aiming to become
| less dependent on specific IT vendors.
|
| This municipality started its first open
| source pilot in 2004. It now plans to include
| free and open source software in all parts of
| its IT infrastructure, and says this will
| result in significant cost savings.
|
| "We spent 570,000 euro on proprietary office
| licences in 2006. Next year, however, we
| expect to save some 160,000 euro ", says
| Massimo Carnevali, IT manager of the
| municipality.

| The idea is to dispel lingering misconceptions
| about open source and misinterpretations of
| the rules around procurement and community
| licenses that it feels have hampered
| government's broader use of open source in
| public projects.
