Antitrust: accepted commitments to remove constraints in choosing software … – ilVelino / AGV NEWS

The Competition Authority and the market has concluded an investigation into the company Argo Software Srl Axios and Italy Service Srl, accepting their commitments and closing the proceeding no sanctions. Under these obligations, now schools have greater freedom of choice between management systems and between competing applications for the electronic register and communications with families. The intervention of the Antitrust marks a step towards interoperability between different platforms that promotes competition static and dynamic in the markets affected by the digitization between citizens and public administrations, thus encouraging the spread of Internet access by households. In particular, for the export of data in the database of their management software, the two companies have agreed to adopt procedures that render the same data actually used by other operators. Axios Italy Service is also committed to allow the reading of the data contained in the database to competing suppliers (schools authorized by the use of data) that recognize the same possibility. The Competition Authority considered that the commitments submitted by Argo Software and Service Axios Italy, as reported after the clarifications and amendments after market test, were appropriate to remove the anti-competitive, because they determine a net improvement of availability and data accessibility of schools. And, in this sense, have a significant impact on the ability of management software and applications for the electronic register and notices school-family to share the same database, expanding the possibilities of choice of schools.
