4 Software Selection Principles
According to Peter Moore, Microsoft's Asia-Pacific Director of Technology, to ensure innovation and development in this area, Governments should pay attention to the four neutrality criteria when selecting the part. soft. These principles include: 1. Buy software based on their actual value Each software has different values and benefits. Government organizations should buy the software that best meets their needs and should avoid discriminating against any type of software, whether open source, commercial or free. Software selection is based on criteria such as value, total cost of ownership, performance, performance and security. Promote the popularity of government-funded research Over the years, the government has made significant contributions to the development of technology by providing funding for many basic research projects in the field of software. The widespread dissemination of these research results will help create continued innovation, thereby contributing to the development of the knowledge base of the community as well as stimulating development in commercial products. Increase interoperability between systems and technologies through open standards When standards are open, they are widely available to everyone through a rational and non-discriminatory licensing mechanism that will help software developers create products. Products may be compatible with each other. 4. Maintain the choice in ensuring intellectual property rights Policymakers should not impose a rigid requirement on licensing as a prerequisite for the purchase of goods. Allowing intellectual property rights holders to choose a licensing method promotes more creativity. Peter Moore said Microsoft is actively investing in research and development activities to bring more creativity. The company plans to spend $ 6.8 billion in fiscal year 2004 to create new innovations that will improve the quality of life for people and increase the competitiveness of businesses.
