For any department/institution that wants to run its own journal, there's the Open Journal System [1]. They also develop the Open Conference System [2]. I used to be a sysadmin for a research institute using them. Both OJS and OCS performed reasonably well back then. Technical options to systematically counteract predatory publishing like ACM and Elsevier [3] do exist. However, it requires plenty of institutional commitment and overcoming political opposition, as it boils down to enhancing researcher reputation in an effective way. Building reputation almost from scratch vs. depending on established, well recognized publishers is kind of the perpetual FOSS vs. proprietary software conflict.
