	Newham and Microsoft sign 10-yr deal \| The Register
		Let's recap: Newham had brought in open source consultancy netproject to conduct a study of the feasibility of an open source deployment.
		It recommended that the council deploy a mixture of open source and proprietary solutions, including an upgrade of its MS Exchange server.
		Richard Steel, Newham's head of IT, rejects the claim: he says Bleasdale is "inferring things that are not justified by the facts".

	Newham Council IT leaders face backlash for choosing Microsoft over open source (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Newham Council's decision earlier this month to opt for Microsoft, rather than open source technology, surprised many IT professionals and angered open source advocates.
		When the council's head of ICT Richard Steel decided last year to pit open source software against Microsoft products in a prolonged trial it was seen as one of the most important tests yet of the viability of alternatives to proprietary systems.
		The ramifications of Newham's decision to sign up to a 10-year strategic relationship with Microsoft will be felt for many months to come, but one thing the trial has highlighted, according to Gary Barnett, research director at Ovum, is the complexity of total cost of ownership calculations and of fundamentally changing an enterprise's IT strategy.

	Council says Linux migration poses "unacceptable levels of risk" - Operating Systems - Breaking Business and ...
		Newham will not now take part in the Office of Government Commerce open source trials with IBM, instead focusing its energies on talks with Microsoft, after council officers decided any major migration would pose "unacceptable levels of risk" to council services.
		The council had also been involved in its own small-scale Linux trials last year with the Net Project group and some of these will continue as Newham builds up its knowledge and skill base for open source.
		Richard Steel, head of ICT at Newham, told silicon.com that while the council will continue to monitor open source, the time is not right for any major switch to a Linux desktop given Newham's complex IT environment.

		Speaking at an event to launch a partnership between Newham and Microsoft, Richard Steel -- Newham Council's head of ICT -- insisted that a recent assessment of the various merits of Windows and open source had been fair and above board.

		Newham, the thinking went, had used its unique position to cut itself a good deal at the expense of the rest of the public sector and open source projects as a whole.
		Newham just made the decision that was right for them.” As for the other trials, we can expect their outcomes to be made known at the beginning to middle of February.

	NewsForge \| Newham council: how Microsoft fought back against the Linux onslaught
		At the end of last year, arguably the most IT-savvy government organisation in the UK, Newham Borough Council, stunned observers by dropping out of a government-sponsored open source project and announcing its decision to partner with Microsoft for all its IT needs.
		The nine organisations chosen were four central government departments - Office of the deputy prime minister; work and pensions; culture, media and sport; and e-envoy - the Central Scotland Police Authority, Office of Water Service and three councils - Powys, Newham and Orkney.
		Microsoft was desperate to "get a win" and the councils were clearly going to be easier to approach due to their comparatively smaller size, greater independence and the existence of single heads of IT who were able to make the decision one way or another.
