The Department of Public Works and Services (DPWS) has officially denied that NSW has turned down a whole-of-government software licence for Microsoft Office XP.
Microsoft's plan to commit NSW to a three-year, whole-of-government software licence for its office productivity software, Office XP, has fallen short, giving Sun Microsystems StarOffice 6.0 a boost.
Microsoft's software licensing terms may undermine a new whole of government three year enterprise software agreement the Department of Public Works and Services (DPWS) presented to the NSW government departments and agencies this week.
The New South Wales Department of Public Works and Services (DPWS) has become a key battleground on which Microsoft Australia is campaigning to defend its domination of the desktop from Sun Microsystem's StarOffice.
The NSW Government has given strong indications that it expects the technology behind its new online procurement system, announced today, to provide standards for commercial e-commerce operators.
