The document outlines a 7-step process for migrating an organization from proprietary office software like Microsoft Office to open source OpenOffice. The steps include standardizing document formats and applications, assessing user needs, deploying OpenOffice, and providing training. It acknowledges challenges like document conversion issues, differences in capabilities, integration with enterprise apps, and managing organizational change. However, it argues migration is possible with comprehensive change management, good planning, continuous communication, support, and managing it as an "organization change" requiring buy-in from both leadership and users. Several Thai companies that successfully migrated large user bases to OpenOffice are cited as examples.

OpenOffice.org Performance Analysis - to improve responsiveness for older PCOsdev
A client with 1x,000 users has gradually migrated to OpenOffice.org for a few years. They found many complaints about the speed of OpenOffice.org compare to MS Office. This kind of complaint are familiar to us but the magnitude of the problems, e.g. open-file time in minutes seems rather strange. So we investigated the problems to find the kind and cause of them to reach a conclusion that could be use to improve the situation in our client case.
We found that the problem depends solely on hardware, notably RAM, vs. file size. Our client happen to have old IT infrastructure with a lot of old PC, e.g. Pentium with 256M RAM. Add enough RAM (>512M) and OpenOffice.org will run fine for files of average sizes. Add more (e.g. >1024M) to open larger files.
Here is the presentation of our finding.
