KSEB stands for Kerala State Electricity Board.
I posted some news before, as part of the savings KSEB made. Now it is fully done and wants to know the savings ? 5.6 Crore Indian Rupees !!!
They tested the system - includes office softwares, billing softwares, accounting softwares etc - for some months and didn't find much problem, so the shift is almost there. The calculated savings comes to Rs.5.6 Crore (I think it is not final, they are expecting it to come something thats slightly above 6 Crore).
I think it is a good move and good initiative / model for other departments to copy and save a lot of money. They are more into training and hopefully it will be a success in the near future itself.
Now do not start another OS war lol. As I mention always, move to Opensource wherever possible, save $$$ and when it is not possible, stick with the softwares / OS that we use. As simple as that.
