Interesting insights...maybe someone can help me:
The company I work for has over 1,000 licensed Windows XP/MS Office
PCs. Also, we purchase an additional 50-100 licenses each year.
In the past few years, it has been relatively easy for our I.T.
department to migrate our servers and enterprise applications to Linux.
However, our attempt to migrate desktop users to Open Office (OO) in
Windows (not even Linux yet) failed miserably! The reason for that is
simple: training, supporting and managing the change to OO requires too
much manpower and resources. This is something we wouldn't do
internally, since our time would be better spent enhancing and
supporting our core systems and applications.
Of course, we do realize that migrating our users to OO would generate
some savings in software licensing (about 350 to 700K PHP each year).
So, if there are any OO migration specialists out there who might be
interested in helping us, please contact me offlline. My email address
is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
