and tells where the problems for the users are to migrate.
Usability and acceptance are very
important for users, but also the communication with others

<td><p>OpenOffice.org at the "French Institute of Statutory
Auditors": a case study in building
OOo-based business applications and in integrating OOo with a CMS / Collaborative Platform.</p>
<p>As part of the CNCC (Compagnie Générale des Commissaires aux comptes – French
Institure of Statutory Auditors – CNCC is well-know in the “audit world”) extranet
project led by Unilog and Nuxeo, Indesko has developed the following functionalities:</p>
<ul>
<li>"Audit folders": an application that manages Calc spreadsheets created by
auditors during their missions (statutory audits) on location, then provides on-line
diff / merge of Calc spreadsheets in a visual way (using XMLDiff and XSLT), enables
collaboration for the audirtors' team (versionning, forums, indexing, etc.), and creates
financial reports.</li>
<li>Integration of OOo with Nuxeo CPS, an open-source Zope-based CMS developped by
Nuxeo. This includes "Edit in Place", SSL (client certificate authentication) and
PKI support for better security. UNO Pythons modules provide those features into OOo.</li>
<li>A full XML transformation chain for publishing books (accounting norms, law
comments, books...) using OOo as a DocBook XML editor. The full chain is :
<ol>
<li>Authoring with OOo and collaboration using CPS's features. Contributors
author OOo documents and manage them in the collaboration portal. Documents
can follow an dynamic approval workflow (cascading delegation and approbation),
and are always securely and surely sent to the server from OOo, using SSL
Client Certificate Authentication.</li>
<li>Live transformation and validation of OOo document into Docbook XML.</li>
<li>Docbook is transformed into HTML (for direct on-line publishing with
CPS) and PDF (for printing)</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Creation of a custom OOo distribution for several thousand users at the auditors
firms (this includes : custom UNO modules, custom macros, custom templates, easy
and packaged installation process, etc.).</li>
</ul>
