Abstract
This presentation reviews case studies of four Government and Enterprise Systems developed using Open Source technologies. Case studies include: (1) The NECTIE State Unemployment Online Tax Filing and Payment System - with online example. (2) The WEB-ROD Online Register of Deeds Records Access System - with online examples of two North Carolina Counties. (3) The Wilmington Housing Authority's city-wide Wireless Data Network, Linux Server and Desktop applications, and software applications. (5) South Atlantic Services application of the Inttek Inventory management, logistics, and EDI System. Factors that distinguish these systems: - Security - examples of how critical security designs are implemented - Reliability - multi-year case studies - some examples in operation over 6 years - Ability to handle large volume of data, transactions, and scale for growth - System Performance - benchmark comparison data, and live demonstrations - Compatibility with emerging technologies - examples provided in case studies - Cost savings on software licensing, development time, and compatibility with commodity hardware. - Systems developed with Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, C, XML, and BISSON. With each example, a business case and technical rationale is given. Where possible, representatives of the Businesses and Government Agencies will be present to answer questions. |
