Which Office?
If you are like most people out there, you are probably using Microsoft Office to produce letters and correspondence, spreadsheets and presentations. These are essential tools in any business these days and most of us could not imagine operating without them.
The question is, are you paying for what you need or are you paying for what the software vendor wants you to have?
Not all Offices are alike...
Today we have choices and which option is the most suitable for you will come down to preference and available budget. But one thing is for sure, no one wants to waste money on features they don't use or need!
Compatibility is Key!
Naturally, it is of great importance to ensure that documents and files you produce can be accessed and used by others, including people within and outside your organisation. In the past, this was the key driver that encouraged (or forced?) many of us to purchase and use MS-Office. Today, the 'MS-Office' format of files (i.e. .doc, .xls etc.) has become the defacto standard, which other systems have long adopted. It is now possible to create, open and modify all such files using a selection of office productivity suites, including OpenOffice, StarOffice and Lotus Symphony. And the best part is that these alternative offerings are free!
Major savings to be realised!
Recently, two NZ organisations saved $6.2m and $3.5m respectively on licensing costs for their office productivity tools by switching from MS-Office to another suite - and this without the loss of functionality!
