I'm new to the use of Apache OpenOffice and currently studying a Project Management course.
I've been tasked with a "hypothetical" project to upgrade an imaginary business' IT systems and to migrate them all to Open Office software.
I'm not an expert in IT so taking the thought process of consulting with the technical experts (this is where you guys beat me hands down) and wanted to know if I was missing anything vital in this imaginary migration project.
Hypothetical Business' systems and Network.
PC's are running Pentium 4, 3.20 GHz with 1GB RAM and 120GB HDD.
Network: Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard x64 Edition, Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Microsoft Small Business Server.
The software should also be compatible with Office 2007 in preparation for the planned upgrade.
Majority of the function Uses: Word processing, Spreadsheet, presentation graphics and Email.
From my limited technical understanding, Apache OpenOffice shouldn't have any issues with the PC's and Network's being used and covers most of the Microsoft Office suit software uses required with Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base and Math however it doesn't cover email (microsoft outlook) although Microsoft outlook doesn't require annual licensing and is free as far as I'm aware.
Personal note, so far what I've learned about Apache OpenOffice impresses me and the ability to read and write from other common software packages helps when using various Mac or PC setups within business' and the home office space.
Sorry this is all starting to get a bit long winded


Thanks
