Download Open Office Free Productivity Suite

Microsoft Office: How many one of us use fifteen percent of features of Word or claim that we use it to full potential. So why buy an MS Officesuite for our home use when we create documents or spreadsheet on Open Office productivity suite which is available for free.

As of April next year, Danish state communication will be in open formats that fulfil set principles for open standards. “My ambition is that in the future we will only communicate using open standards,” Science Minister Helge Sander told Parliament.

What does Open Format Standards mean to you ?

Open Document Format (ODF) standards, as promulgated by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), set international compatibility criteria for the electronic/digital storage of documents.

These standards recognize the importance of interoperability and intelligent information exchange and seek, for example, to ensure that office documents created today on any given computer system will be readable by other computer systems everywhere, including the technology of tomorrow.

This would allow you to choose your productivity suite and create documents in open format and send it to anyone. You are not restricted to buy MS Office, which is today the most popular productivity suite in the market to create document. I would advise Open Office applications to adopted by small / medium sized organisations / businesses,  not for profit organisations, educational institutions. Large organisations are generally sceptical to adopt open source applications but they should make feasibility studies and check how they fit into their suite of applications.  

I think, large corporations should demonstrate that they are making efforts to adopt Open Document Format (ODF) standards, as promulgated by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), set international compatibility criteria for the electronic/digital storage of documents. This would influence many to recognise open document format standards and adopt them.
