State and federal governments in Switzerland are aggressively pursuing IT initiatives powered by open source software as a flexible and cost-effective alternative to proprietary software. This was also the direction taken by the state of Vaud, with a population of 657’000 one of the larger cantons in Switzerland, in its search for an open source, eGovernment solution to provide access and management of millions of electronic documents. A key requirement was a system flexible enough to support all branches of state government and integrate with the legacy applications used by individual departments. Another key requirement was to have a system without a high license cost (like proprietary softwares), which favored an Open Source solution.
