Open Source: Just what the doctors ordered

The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has chosen
 Trustix (www.trustix.com) to supply a Linux based e-mail server
 to deliver bulk e-mail to over 6000 GP's across the United
 Kingdom.

Tony Betts, IT Manager, Royal College of General Practitioners
 stated: "We needed a robust, scaleable and configurable
 solution to enable database applications to improve
 communications to our members. The Trustix solution met our
 current needs and future plans, including the potential move of
 more services to open systems."

The reasons for selection were the ability of the Trustix mail
 and web server applications to run without causing problems to
 other applications running on the same hardware and the
 excellent upgrade path offered by IBM xSeries server platform.

Superior performance was also an advantage, with fortnightly
 e-mail delivery taking less than two hours rather than three
 days required by the proprietary solution.

The solution, supplied by ee-scape, will also allow the RCGP to
 provide new services in the future, including web enabling of
 the College's Quality initiatives.

James Dean UK Sales Director, Trustix. commented "We are
 delighted that the Royal College has chosen our solution as the
 basis for web-enabled communication with its members."
