How we migrated an Italian logistics company from Windows to Linux: a real case study

Описание и применение

Компания в Италии перешла с Windows на Linux, заменив все проприетарные решения на открытые. В течение недели была проведена миграция, после чего машины стали быстрее, не возникало сбоев, и сотрудники восстановили по пять часов продуктивности в день. Стоимость лицензий обратилась к нулю.

Задача

The company relied on proprietary Windows, Microsoft Office, and paid antivirus, leading to slow machines, frequent crashes after updates, and rising costs.

Результат

After six months, the company experienced no technical issues, faster machines, zero security incidents, and reclaimed five hours of daily productivity per employee, eliminating all license costs.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Configured a test machine with the full open‑source stack.
• 2. Validated workflows with the team on the test machine.
• 3. Rolled out the new setup workstation‑by‑workstation during off‑hours.
• 4. Conducted hands‑on training sessions to address psychological resistance.
• 5. Monitored performance and resolved any issues over a one‑week period.

Доказательства

The machines are faster. Updates do not break anything. There have been zero security incidents.
