2007:2 Migrating a Ministry to OpenOffice.org
In December 2006, the Finnish Ministry of Justice decided to migrate to
the open source OpenOffice.org office suite. The ministry and its
administrative sector will also adopt the OpenDocument ISO standard for
the file format of office documents.
After the migration, OpenOffice.org will be the primary office suite for
8500 persons and Microsoft Office for 1500 persons. All Windows XP
workstations of the ministry and its administrative sector are installed
with OpenOffice.org version 2.
The migration decision was based on office software evaluation in 2005
and an extensive OpenOffice.org pilot project in 2006. The main results
of the office software study are presented in the report including the
various migration options considered during the evaluation. In the pilot
project, the functionality and compatibility of OpenOffice.org was
tested in daily office use. In addition, the evaluation of training and
support requirements, workstation installations and configurations were
among the tasks of the pilot project. The results of the pilot project
are presented in the report. The report also gives information on the
current status of the OpenOffice.org migration process.
The report is to be presented at the Workshop on Open Document Exchange
formats in Berlin 28 February 2007. The workshop will be held in
cooperation with the German Federal Ministry of Interior and the
Interoperable Delivery of European eGovernment Services to Public
Administrations, Business and Citizens (IDABC) programme of the European
Commission's Directorate-General for Informatics.
