It's about time.. If they actually do it right. It's been running on a mainframe in the capital for decades. CDOT (Colorado) had been doing the same thing. I think they maybe FINALLY are off that system though?

Even if it "works" at some point even if you have people that can maintain it you can't get parts to keep it going. It's the nature of things like this.

From the post:

>The Wyoming Department of Transportation is implementing a $20 million computer system upgrade this summer, the most significant overhaul since 1986. The last time these systems were upgraded, “Top Gun” was the No. 1 movie, Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Wyoming elected a Democrat, Mike Sullivan, to the governor’s office. The agency is upgrading its Driver Services and Revenue Information Service systems to MAX, a new software system available in WYDOT offices statewide.

It's Wyoming, not a huge amount of people for a huge state, they should be able to do all state departments for 20 million with client systems and one of them new Nvidia servers that are terabytes a second.

I imagine half of that cost are to upgrade stupid programs they can hire a developer/s to creat new programs that use open source and have the state own the programs when complete not make payments on software for decades.

Likely the people in the department head office will want fucking Windows and premade software like the manager in BOFH and have no clue you can hire someone to make you software you own if contract are written correctly so nothing is ever paid for constantly.

Then run it on Debian and only do security updates since the hardware will rarely update and neither will the programs except tweaking for new holes in the software as they are found.
