Open source software: in business, in government

September 2010


Starting from: £99 + VAT
Format: DOWNLOADABLE PDF


This seminar followed the Government's announcement of its commitment to create a 'level playing field' for open source software in Government IT procurement, and the splitting up of major projects into their component parts to allow smaller firms to compete equally with the major software houses. The seminar examined the use and deployment of free and open source software (FOSS), both in business and the public sector. Sessions looked at the positive and negative aspects of adopting FOSS, the challenges it poses for training and how UK usage compares internationally.
