Hiii Today i got a chance to visit a Co-opertive bank to inspect some networking there. They are using a SW Perfect Bank which is provided by another co-operative firm COSTEC G8 Elankom gardens Vellayambalam . They solely is the distributors,HW vendors and trainers . As per Govt policy they have to provide free SW platform applications they even has Linux version of there application but promote Windows based sw . There servers are hosted with Windows 2000 or 2003 server edition costing 54,000 they charges 70,000 to 90,000 for there sw Perfect Bank per branch in an estimate more than 3 Lakh per bank goes for SW . You all know in co-operative sector it's always lover class workers money is dealed and a lot of money are going to this section atleast the cost can be halved if linux is promoted. The main reason they are avoiding linux stating printer compatability if some of our guys can find some good Linux supported dotmatrix printers (80 column as well as 136 column) we can mail the GM of the company or personally meet and tell him to atleast give customer to choose the OS option. Another reason stated was there are server versions of Linux which are not at all free or costs near to Windows server edition is this true?
The GM of the company is Mr Saaju Ph No 9447027093. Hope you all will try to provide some solutions.
