Thesis (MTech. degree in Computer Systems.)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2008 / Open source software (OSS) is becoming, increasingly, an alternative to proprietary software (PS), particularly in the global government sector. The main objective of this dissertation is to investigate the status of OSS implementation in the SA government by surveying 40 national departments and targeting Information Technology (IT) directors and managers. The contribution of this research study is an OSS implementation model (OSSI), which is proposed as a possible solution to improve the status of OSS usage in the SA government departments. In conclusion, the proposed model is evaluated against other available OSS models using the set criteria.
