Strathmore adopts an open source software
Written by Kui Kinyanjui
13-July-2007: 

Strathmore University has become the first educational
institution to adopt an open source software solution
hoping to cut costs and prevent leakages....

Strathmore paid just Sh20 million for Kuali, saving
over Sh50 million compared to a similar solution
offered by brand names such as Microsoft or SAP.
