Government agencies must do more with less provide higher levels of citizen services and improve security while reducing costs. One way to achieve this goal is to transform brick-and-mortar services to e-government, providing self-service applications to constituents, partners, vendors, and other agencies over the Internet.
It's a transformation that requires a reliable, scalable IT infrastructure one that can integrate existing databases and applications, often across agency boundaries. The fast, reliable, streamlined, scalable and Internet-ready characteristics of Linux make it particularly well suited to host these e-government applications.
Oklahoma's Department of Human Services has used Linux on the mainframe to create a revolutionary child welfare reporting system that meets government regulations and improves reporting to constituents, while also reducing cost and increasing efficiency. After analyzing all factors hardware, software, support, personnel, facilities, downtime, storage, network, and services the department found it was able to reduce TCO by about $989,000 over five years, which represents a 39% reduction in overall cost.
