Etelä-Korean piti olla Microsoftin eräs vahvimpia linnakkeita mutta maailma on muuttumassa. Sikäläinen lääkealan yritys Bukwang Pharmaceuticals muutti noin 400 entistä XP-konettaan käyttämään Ubuntua (Linux) ja säästi välittömästi pelkästään lisenssikuluissa 300 000 dollaria. Ja säästöt eivät jää tähän. Nyt niitä alkaa sitten tulla jatkossakin kun kalliista Microsoftin ekosysteemistä päästiin eroon.
“In the first phase of the project, Bukwang Pharmaceuticals switched around 400 PCs to Ubuntu. Even before the planned migration of all remaining machines, savings on annual licensing alone totalled $300,000. And the benefits didn’t stop there.
In a country where Microsoft was so well entrenched, Bukwang’s migration to Ubuntu and Open Source proved to be of enormous interest in the business community. It generated a raft of free publicity in the media, including interviews with the Korean Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning.
