Um estudo de caso sobre a utilização de software livre em órgãos públicos em Frederico Westphalen - RS

Abstract

This paper presents a case study involving the use of Free Software (FS) in the Federal Public Service and State in the city of Frederico Westphalen-RS. The use of FS provides a considerable reduction in expenses for licenses. Thus, these features can be used in other sectors that require more investments, such as Health and Safety, for example. Initially, there will be recognition of what institutions in Frederico Westphalen-RS make use of these resources to later choose the ones that will be part of the case study. It is intended to identify the potential and limitations of applying SL in these bodies, based on the analysis of its users (civil servants). Subsequently, the tabulation and analysis of the collected data will be held so that they can be set some guidelines to support the implementation of SL in public bodies.
