London Borough of Newham Chooses Microsoft Solution Over Open Source as Best Overall Value Option
Overview Newham Council, an innovative and leading-edge local authority in the United Kingdom, was faced with the need to lower cost and risk, while providing a financially predictable, stable, and innovative Information and Communications Technology (ICT) platform to support its ambitious long-term transformation plans. A multi-disciplinary team under the lead of Capgemini was brought in to evaluate the best possible solution for the borough, comparing the costs, business benefits, and risk profiles of a Microsoft solution (incorporating Microsoft Windows XP and the Microsoft Office System on the desktop, with Microsoft Windows Server 2003) with equivalent Open Source solutions. The analysis showed that by standardizing on a Microsoft solution, the borough could lower ICT operating costs, derive additional significant business benefit, and secure the desired predictability and stability.
