California Should use Open Source and VoIP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-shouldn't-everyone dept.

Albanach writes "ZDNet is reporting that a report from independent auditors and experts has recommended that the State of California adopts open source software and Voice over IP as part of a series of moves that, the report says, could save the state $32 billion over five years.
