It really depends on the ITC policies, and yes, OOo can be updated relatively simple specially on Linux. Current versions of OOo are update rather simple through an update script. However windows might be different.
Oracle sees this as a way to make money and product differentiation by making their commercial platform (Oracle Open Office) be able to update by downloading simple update packages. I do have some questions, for example, openoffice.org can support a version control on the network that similar to Active Directory for unattended machines. This is provided by a company in the US through a Java service. Also there are other ways to deploy OOo such as OOo-LAN mode which can be installed under a thin-client 'like' environment having 1 OOo runing with several users using it from their desktop. However people that have tried this have told me that it could be very network intensive.
