Development of competitive guide to accompany office suite competitive analysis spreadsheet.
Created attachment 14435 [details] Draft Microsoft Office Competitive Guide prepared by Becca.
"License cost is only a small part of the total cost of ownership" 1: Should mention be made that the licensing structure of MSOffice reflect that you must purchase the full suite regardless of what componants you choose to install? As opposed to OOo, where you are free to choose only the componants you need. 2: Installation and maintanance costs are roughly the same no matter what office suite you choose, OOo, MSo, Star, Corel, EasyOffice. "Existing MSOffice users must be retrained to use OOo" Fact - Retraining for OOo is about the same as retraining for Microsoft Office when upgrading to a new version. This is as far as I have gotten on my comments.
Created attachment 14450 [details] ComParison of OOo and MS Office from the IT tech's POV.
It's likely also worth including the more definable training costs. For example professional OpenOffice.org eLearning is US $24.00 per head, far better than that for MS Office. http://www.digitaldistribution.com/pricing
