NZ Government Department goes for Open-Source Tech
The Companies Office, a unit of the Ministry of Economic Development, has launched a new website. What is special about the new website is that it is based on ‘Open Source’ software. It is only the third government department to do so but the first one of the “top five” Government sites in NZ (by number of visitors).
The product being used by the Ministry is “Plone”, which is one of the most commonly used Open Source systems for managing website content. Igniter was enlisted by the Ministry to evaluate strategic implications of using an open source content management system for the department.
Stefan Korn of Igniter said today: “The beauty of Plone is that it provides an easy, attractive installation that gives you a professional system without the numerous downsides of commercial packages. The community that have developed and supported it have been passionate about the user experience, and much time has gone into refining and finishing the product.”
