    Posté par . En réponse à la dépêche La police écossaise revient au tout Microsoft. Évalué à 5.

    Si tu relis bien l'article, (Comme je viens de le faire), il semble que le partage de fichiers avec les 7 autres agences de police ait probablement joue le plus grand role, et que vu qu'il ne representaient que 5% des effectifs de la police, il leur etait difficile de convertir les autres.
    Perhaps most of all, the agency needed its systems to work smoothly with those at other agencies and criminal justice departments. Scotland's other seven police jurisdictions use Microsoft for their desktops and applications layer, he said. "Even though we're one of eight police forces, we make up only 5 percent of the police officers. It's hard to have 5 percent driving the rest of the force," he said.

    Je tiens a signaler qu'il dit que StarOffice a bien repondu a leurs attentes de l'epoque, mais qu'une organisation devrait toujours faire l'inventaire de ce qu'elle a (est-ce que c'est bien traduit?), et etudier ses interactions avec ses partenaires.
    Asked if he would recommend open-source software to other organizations, Stirling said: "At the time, the move to StarOffice and open-source did suit us, and they played their part. It's purely about business benefits. An organization would need to take stock of what they have and their interaction with partner agencies. It's a decision that has to be made purely case by case."
