Are there any specific advantages for me as a small business user in
using
Open Office. I wish to grow my business. In the long term I do not want
to
devote too much of my time to my systems and IT therefore need a stable
and
well supported platform. Obviously cost and costing and keeping them as
low
as I can is an important aspect to me.
I wish to embrace as much new technology and office automation along
with
other systems (electronic) as I can as I develop my business. There are
many products in the market place I can call upon, which have probably
been
written to run on Microsoft platform initially. Would the running of
Open
Office give me or create problems for me?
Without knowing your requirements, that question is impossible to answer.
OpenOffice is a full office suite, that meets the needs of the vast
majority of users. It is available for many operating systems beyond
Windows, so it will make it easier to move to another platform, should you
desire. It also supports ISO standard file formats, which Microsoft
refuses to do. As for cost, it's a free download from www.openoffice.org.
