Thank you.. for your valuable information..
so the conclusion is it is possible to provide Openoffice as a
service through internet... one more thing i came across is zoho office (
www.zoho.com) its also a online office suite.. googledocs, zoho all are
different office suites i want to know about openoffice in this reagard...
how much effort is need to implement the openoffice in a server which
serves 150+ systems...
I am eager to know is it possible (openoffiece as a service) atleast
with simple features... if yes what are the requirements... to do that..
Like which web server is needed, how load balancing, security to data
etc...
