Although it's the big name software companies that capture the headlines,
shipping the box is only a small part of the equation. For the majority of
users, it's other people who provide the value add: the people running
training courses, writing user guides, providing support, integrating systems,
providing niche-market add-ons... For all of these businesses, OpenOffice.org 3
provides an unbeatable value proposition. No longer do you have to spend a large
chunk of your client's budget on software licences. With OpenOffice.org 3,
you can offer office software of the highest quality at no cost.
Open for adoption

implies. Starting at the file level, it is the first software package
in the world to fully support ISO/IEC 26300 OpenDocument file format (ODF).
As more companies adopt the standard, exchanging data between office software will become as easy as saving and opening a file - a system integrator's dream.
For developers, OpenOffice.org 3 offers a range of options, from extensions -
in a variety of programming languages - through to use of the full OpenOffice.org 3
component based architecture. OpenOffice.org even offers its own ODF toolkit for other developers.
Open for business
OpenOffice.org 3 prides itself on its compatibility with other office software,
both in the way it works and in the files it uses. So offering OpenOffice.org 3 doesn't
close off options for your clients - in fact, it opens up new opportunities for them.
Amazingly, OpenOffice.org 3 comes without any license fees, or any
worrying small print. You can pre-install it on computers, ship it on CDs,
include it in books, put it on the cover of magazines...
and, you don't need to say We recommend OpenOffice.org on all your advertising.
