Norrie, I would think that if your client's employees were content with
linux on the desktop, in general, then ltsp would be a logical next
consideration. But that might be too big a jump.
Perhaps, you should try to find a replacement for MS Office first. Like,
maybe try google docs.
Other than that, I follow Dave Richards' blog in which he uses ltsp for
some sort of municipal office in Key Largo, Florida:
