Royal Bank of Scotland opts for open source intranet
The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has revealed it is working on a large content management system (CMS) based on the open source application server Zope.
At the end of last year, the bank sent an email to a number of Zope mailing lists, stating it was looking for a developer to join the CMS development team in its Corporate Markets division, which provides financial services to large and medium-sized businesses and serves around 75,000 customers worldwide.
Hamilton said the project, which has been going on for about two years, is one of the largest deployments of Zope that he is aware of and also "one of the most sophisticated", although he was unwilling to provide technical details.
Although many banks run Linux servers, the use of open source in user-facing applications is more rare.
