Re: Open Source Office

Open Office resides easily side-by-side with Word.  Maybe a few in your
department could try it out?

I might be interested in this also.  Maybe even my LUG.

Hi all ...
 
Our company is looking to significantly decrease our operating expenses as
we move into 2006.
 
One thing we currently do is spend a lot of money licensing and supporting
an M$ Office server/desktop environment..
 
I'm trying find information relating to a successful replacement of a
large Microsoft Office infrastructure with an Open Source office solution.
Maybe one that runs on Linux in an iSeries (????) or Linux on an xSeries
along with PC based clients or maybe even Linux based clients! Wow,
wouldn't that be interesting, no Windows desktops or servers or M$
software... Yikes, will I be struck by lighting for even thinking such a
thought?
 
Anyway... I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who might want to
share a success story that I could then share with my CIO in order to
prove that something like this is actually a possibility.
 
Kenneth
