  • Abstract
    Over the past decade, the University of Navarra´s academic management system evolved from a mainframe environment to windows-based client-server architecture and then to a Web environment. Aiming for independence from vendors, these developers adopted open-source solutions for their Web applications and were delighted with the results.
