As per Ian Lynch's reply OpenOffice.org is free to download, install on
as many computers as you like and even give burned copies on disk to
your employees to take home.

Furthermore it will run on computers beside existing copies of Microsoft
Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

One thing you should consider however is establishing a proper migration
proceedure.
wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Migration_Documents

documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0600MG-MigrationGuide.
pdf

You will find two types of people will not migrate easily. Power Users
(those that heavily use macro's, styles, or other esoteric features) and
those users (15%+/-) that are resistant to change for various reasons
(some which are legitimate).

You should have in place proceedures to handle both the above users
including an allocation of training time for both.

The good news is approximately 80% of your existing userbase will be
able to migrate over to OpenOffice.org without difficulty.
