February 17th, 2009 | Published in open standards, oss | 1 Comment
A study by a dutch government agency (ICTU) was just released which discusses the current results of implementing open standards and open source by dutch government agencies: Verbinding in het vizier (dutch, pdf).
What is interesting is that the results are not just discussed, but all agencies are ranked by their results to implement the goals of Actieplan Nederland Open in Verbinding (Open Connected Netherlands Plan). You can find the ranking here: NOiV Ranking. It will be updated twice per year. You can even find the details how the organizations are ranked:
Also interesting is a list that shows the perceived effects of using Open Standards and Open Source by these organizations: The effects of the NOiV plan. OS and OSS have the biggest impact on improved interoperability and improved collaboration. Only in 8 percent of the organisations costs havev been reduced by using OS and OSS.
