| <h3>Firm Deploys OpenOffice - Where It Makes Sense</h3> |
| <p>With open-source productivity suites getting better and |
| better, the cost of |
| Microsoft Corp.'s Office is looking higher and higher to FN |
| Manufacturing LLC. FN Manufacturing began |
| testing OpenOffice.org 1.1.1 in 2004 with the hope of mitigating the |
| costsassociated with an enterprisewide upgrade to Microsoft Office |
| 2003. FN |
| Manufacturing's goal was not necessarily to entirely replace |
| Microsoft's Office suite, but to find and deploy a more cost-effective |
| office solution where and when possible.</p> |

| <h3> Moving to an OpenOffice Culture</h3> |
| <p>OpenOffice offers the entire organization immediate savings. |
| Now that's something everyone can understand. Even with the moderate |
| costs |
| associated with training and support for a new application, Novell |
| calculated it could achieve seven-figure savings just by cutting back |
| on its MS Office licenses as it also streamlined its Windows contracts. |
| Adopting OpenOffice for Windows, with an eye to eventually going all |
| the way with Linux, made that possible. |
