eThekwini chooses open source

eThekwini (Durban) municipality chooses open source for it's internet and intranet services using Zope (Application Server) and Plone (CMS).

Via Tectonic:

Technical development of the portal was done by Cape Town-based Jam Warehouse, working with Bytes Systems Integration as strategy partner and Durban small business AdaptIT.

Jam Warehouse's Denham Trollip:

We've built a solid, flexible and highly scalable portal using only open-source software and open standards. This project has proved that it's feasible to build enterprise-grade platforms using only open-source tools. We hope it will be an important demonstration project for other municipalities and government agencies.
