St. Antoinus hospital Opens Up!
Nieuwegein, October 13, 2011. Following the Antonius Open! project, the St. Antonius Hospital recently signed an agreement with OpenSesame ICT to introduce Open Source and Open Standards business solutions in their application landscape. It concerns the implementation of SugarCRM Open Source and the OpenIMS CE platform.
Anthony Open! was an IT project in which as many possible workplaces within the St. Antonius Hospital were converted from a closed source workplace based upon Microsoft Windows and Office to an open source workplace. The project does not stand alone. Within the Antonius Hospital the ICT department was building an ICT architecture based on open standards. The purpose of this program was to be more flexible in the ICT architecture, reducing vendor dependency and reduce costs through reduced licensing fees.
The first projects currently being implemented are OpenIMS Document Management Server (DMS) and SugarCRM CE for the secretariat of the Board and the implementation of OpenIMS DMS within the ICT department. At this moment a number of other projects have been defined which will subsequently be executed.
