Christchurch firm cleanses Niue govt of open source
A Christchurch software developer has been charged with relieving the Niue government of its open source systems and replacing them with a Microsoft-based solution after the island encountered ongoing service and support issues.
Software developer SAFI Technologies is to develop a new government website, or portal, together with an intranet for the Niue government. The project is funded by the United Nations Development Programme.
SAFI Technologies’ managing director, Tim Johnson, says his company first became involved with Niue about three years ago, offering hosting for the government website. That relationship has grown and expanded over the years.
SAFI is a Microsoft solutions partner. It will redesign the government’s website to to make it more professional and also to reflect the fact Niue is a Pacific island nation. The redevelopment may include blogs for individual villages on the island, Johnson says.
