'Nightmare' drove desperate user to open source</a>, |
|
Computerworld, October 24, 2005</strong></font><br> |
|
A great tale of how Mark Uemura of PricewaterhouseCoopers Japan |
|
was forced to move to OpenBSD because the alternatives were too costly |
|
and too unreliable. |
|
This quote will rattle some cages: |
|
"IT managers who want to deploy an open source solution but are |
|
worried about company politics should go ahead and do it without |
|
asking," according to Uemura, who was promoted to IT Manager of PWC Japan |
|
after saving the company seven IT-samurais' salaries. |
|
Further, "In Japan large organizations like Morgan Stanley and the |
|
Bank of America have moved all their backend systems to open source, |
|
Uemura said, because with open source you can reduce IT operating |
|
costs without any commercial lock-in." |
