LGOLnet Solution

Gartner Report on LGOL-Net

There had been a Gartner Report on LGOL-Net which had positioned

LGOL-Net as an appropriate solution for the niche Local Authority

environment but not the only one. They declined to compare LGOL-Net

with any commercial offering because it wouldn't have been a like for like

comparison. They had also suggested that there needs to be investment in

the product in order to extend it into to Application Platform Suite/

Enterprise Integration space. This included workflow and micro-workflow (

Gartner's terms) and that there should be a single generic adapter

developed.
