Well, this is the sort of thing which would be useful to showcase to
corporate WA.
So, excluding "internet" and computing companies, is there some examples
of WA businesses and companies who have realised real benefits through
OSS? And where's all this wonderful information hiding on the greater web? :)
As an example, I've seen an accountant or two pop up in archived PLUG
posts who are using some OSS to faciliate their business. Would anyone
be able to elaborate on that?

How about Nandos? I remember seeing a post just recently about their
switch to OSS.<br>
