How an open source software meets the needs of public sector organisations
Public sector organisations and government agencies need to ride the digital revolution wave in order to be closer to citizens around the world. At the same time, they need to securely manage all personal and sensitive information. Adopting an open source live chat solution gives these types of organisations a whole range of benefits. What are the benefits of open source software? We will describe in more detail in this article. Before going on with our story, let us enjoy a little moment of self-celebration…
📢📢📢 Italian Government has included Tiledesk in the Open source software catalogue
We are pleased to announce that our conversational platform, Tiledesk, has successfully passed the review process run by the Italian Developers team (Department for Digital Transformation + Italian Digital Agency) and has been featured in the Open Source software catalogue, drawn up especially for the government organisations.
The catalogue in question is provided by the Guidelines for Software Acquisition and Reuse which includes reused solutions by the government organisations pursuant to the Code of Digital Administration as well as the third-party open source software solutions.
Our success is testified by a number of clients who chose Tiledesk to meet their needs: the company, namely S3C, specialising in systems and services for multi-channel communication with a view to enabling an advanced customer service solution for LineaAmica and both major national (e.g. Unisalento) and international universities (e.g. University of Valencia).
In particular, the above mentioned Guidelines – adopted in line with the Articles 68 “Comparative analysis of solutions” and 69 “Reuse of solutions and open standards” of the Code of the Digital Administration – provide that the government organisations carry out a comparative technical & economic assessment on the purchase of a software, motivating their choices and favouring open source solutions, including those made available by other government organisations.
This is certainly an important factor to take into account when designing IT solutions for the government and its affiliates.
What are other relevant benefits of adopting an open source software such as Tiledesk?
Firstly, our code is open source, meaning Government organisations are fully privy to how the code works, in line with the total transparency principle.
Secondly, in addition to the cloud version, we provide an on-premise version that can be installed on your servers. This allows you to have full control over your users’ data, ensuring more security and less exposure to cyber threats.
Finally, our open source solution is highly customizable, meaning it can fit your needs like a glove.
To conclude, below is the button to our page in the catalogue – have a look and don’t hesitate to reach out should you like more info on info@tiledesk.com.
