Federal Courts Adopt Linux Backend
Posted by Ernest Miller
I haven't been following court technology very closely lately (mostly through frustration with their resistance to truly open court publishing), but this story caught my eye. The San Antonio Business Journal reports that PEC Solutions (motto: "Web-enabling Government") has received a contract from the Administrative Office of the US Courts to switch the Federal Judiciary's IT infrastructure to Linux (U.S. Courts hires vendor to migrate to Linux/Intel platform). Read the press release: PEC Solutions to Migrate Federal Judiciaryâs National IT Infrastructure to Linux/Intel Platform. From the press release:
PEC will support the transition of the Judiciaryâs mission-sensitive applications, including case management, finance and accounting, probation and pretrial services, and case-tracking management systems to the Linux standard. PEC will provide Linux operating system and applications technical support and assistance, including planning, advice and recommendations, help desk support, installation and testing support, and full problem resolution.
Interesting. I wonder if and when the courts will begin playing with a GNU/Linux-based desktop.
