If the governor of California, Arno Sevignig listened to the expert's recommendations, it may end the dependence of the California government's proprietary software and traditional telephone system. A group of groups composed of independent auditors and experts last week suggested that the California government should consider opening the Source Code Software and Voice over Internet Protocol; VoIP. This suggested program is included in the California Performance Review Report released on August 2. "If these suggestions are all put into practice, there is potential to save more than $ 32 billion in the next five years," the person in charge of the group wrote on the statement of the statement of the state. The report pointed out that the expenditures saved by these two technologies only account for a small number of total. Experts estimate that use VoIP, which can save 2 million bills to California's annual telephone bills, 5 million US dollars. As for the possible expenditure of open source software, it is affected by many variables, but the authors of the report estimates that the two state governments' test programs can save $ 300,000 in one year, because of the open source software. . The report emphasizes that VoIP technology is competitive and is beneficial to California. There are many advantages of the Internet phone itself, and the network management tools identified by the dialer identification, elasticity, and built-in instant monitoring frequency width. In the control, California government departments currently use a wide variety of digital and comparable networks and technologies, which are provided by different manufacturers. The benefits of open source software are better than the proprietary software, the report said: "Open source code not only saves money, but also because the source code is open, providing the flexibility of the units depending on the specific demand modification, the security is also closed. The source code is superior. "But not everyone agrees to the above assessment. A research report sponsored by the Market Research Company and Microsoft Company found that Microsoft products have four more cost-effective than open source software in five incidents. This group of information technology (IT) advisers composed of 275 auditors and experts also suggested that California should focus on the establishment of a scientific and technological department to coordinate information networks in California.
