|---|
Nautical equipment manufacturer Kelvin Hughes has become one of the first UK firms to implement an enterprise resource planning system based on 64-bit Linux.
The system, run by four IT staff, supports 350 users at 11 sites in six countries. Clive Corris, Kelvin Hughes' commercial director, said the company decided to use Linux because it did not require as much downtime for patching as other operating systems. Also, the enhanced performance of 64-bit systems was expected to improve productivity and support growth.
