First, make sure you get the latest version. Second, test a couple of your most complex spreadsheets, and also a couple of your largest Word docs, especially with complex formatting.
If you can convert those back and forth with no issues, or at with tolerably well (for your organization), and they display and function at the level you need, then go for it. OO.o 3 is now out, and worth a looksee. We install V2.x on many machines here, but the documents those people deal with are usually quite simple. I haven't yet had time to evaluate V3, but expect that some of the issues we encountered with complex formatting, etc., will be resolved - just probably not *all* of them.
