As a Tech­nol­ogy Busi­ness Con­sul­tant I’m always look­ing for ways to save my clients money while enabling them to main­tain the same high stan­dards they insist on. Instead of pay­ing hun­dreds of dol­lars for Microsoft Office I sug­gest they con­sider OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org is an inte­grated office suite that pro­vides most of the soft­ware you need to run your every­day busi­ness. It includes a word-processor/desktop pub­lisher, spread­sheet soft­ware, pre­sen­ta­tion soft­ware, draw­ing soft­ware, and data­base soft­ware. Unlike many of it’s com­peti­tors it is 100%  free and can be used on mul­ti­ple com­put­ers in your office with­out any legal ram­i­fi­ca­tions. Despite being free it is still fully com­pat­i­ble with files cre­ated in Microsoft Office and can even save into those for­mats. Try it for your­self and you’ll see.
