MS lochs down Scots Police deal | |
|
||
| Time: 15:38 EST/20:38 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Andre Da Costa | ||

Central Scotland Police has signed a three-year deal with Microsoft that will see the force standardise on Microsoft Server 2003 and Windows XP (SP2). The deal was struck under the Office of Government Commerce's (OGC) agreement with Microsoft to offer preferential rates for public sector organisations, and will cost the force less than £60,000 per year. Previously, Central Scotland was the sole non-Microsoft force in the country, having chosen instead to use Linux and StarOffice. But a review of the systems in 2004 found that officers were struggling to file reports from remote locations, and often had to come back to their own desks to complete paperwork. The head of IT, David Stirling, noted that the review also identified "disproportionate" support costs associated with the open source kit: "An estimated 25 percent of additional staff time was routinely required to install and maintain open source-based systems," he said. | ||
