Organizations should use Open Office



You many have heard of openoffice or might have used that too. But for most of us Microsoft Office is the only software for this purpose!!! Well Open office is a open source software which is developed by Sun Microsystems. And yeah its true that Open office is not as good as MS Office but still its a free software and on the contrary you have to pay for the MS Office package. And moreover open office can work seamlessly on MS office format and its having its own format too. So you have functionalities of both. But for heavy users like who have to manage thousands of records in MS excel spreadsheet for that MS office is better as open office takes lot of time to open heavy files of MS office format. But it works fine with its own format. But nearly 90% of the users will never use such big files so its better to switch to open office and save license fee.

I am too using open office as I am a not a heavy user and I have to only do word editing thing. So I use open office and its working fine. And moreover I don't have to pay for the license fee for open office thats the best part.

So organizations should use open office for them as in most of the offices only word editing has to be dont many features of the package is never used. It will save a lot of money, which can be invested in other softwares or any other thing.
