I had a meeting with Senior Managers at Capita a couple of weeks ago and
they seem to be becoming much more enlightened with regard to FLOSS.

Capita has a majority position in the supply of Management Information
systems to UK schools, around 80% market share. Their MIS system is
called SIMS.net and heavily MS dependent. They have announced they will
be removing their dependence on MS Office formats and will be providing
support for OpenOffice.org in future so another cut in the death by a
thousand cuts for the MSO monopoly :-)
