Welcome to Life after ICT Lock-in

Certified Open trial period launched

Today sees the launch of the trial period for Certified Open, a programme to evaluate the technical and commercial lock-in of ICT solutions. Certified Open promotes fair and effective competition in the delivery of software, hardware and services.

Certified Open is a joint venture between OpenForum Europe (OFE) and Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). The programme originated in UK local government and European Commission eTen projects and was further developed with industry, community and user engagement.
