[ossig] [Fwd: [bizdev] How much money have you saved or lost due to usingOpenOffice.org???]

[Colin Charles <byte@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think this might be of interest to some - Erwin's trustworthy and will
not share confidential information, that I know

Stats for Malaysia are bleak - I have pushed some out before, and we've
had a law firm representative push out stuff happening in Malacca, but
thats about it

If more can help, this would rock; if you don't want it to go to Erwin
directly, I don't mind being the man-in-the-middle

Kind regards.

Sorry for the cross posting!

Please only reply directly to me or to dev@marketing.openoffice.org!

Please forward this email to people that are using OpenOffice.org
or StarOffice at work, so that they can provide input, too!

Hello everybody,

How much money have you saved or lost due to using OpenOffice.org
instead of an alternative office suite like Microsoft Office?

Please send your reply directly to me or to
dev@marketing.openoffice.org!

I understand that this might be very sensitive data for you and
your company. However, your TCO data will be used in our discussions
with various government administrations and enterprises. See the
following link for an example:

http://europa.eu.int/ISPO/ida/jsps/index.jsp?fuseAction=showDocument&parent=news&documentID=2387

Your data can make a BIG difference! Your data might influence the
decisions of governments and enterprises around the world!

Therefore, please provide as much as possible of the following data:

- the company name, if we may mention it publicly
   (Please say explicitly, if we can mention the company name or not!!!)

- the vertical/industry sector, i.e. finance, government,
   health care, education, etc.

- total number of employees

- number of employees using OpenOffice.org (or StarOffice)

- number of employees still using a different office suite,
   e.g. Microsoft Office

- the reason for using OpenOffice.org (e.g. the main
   benefits)

- key costs/expenses (training, document conversion/migration, ...)
   and savings (license costs, ...)

- a statement about the usability and user friendlyness
   of OpenOffice.org

- a general statement how happy you and your users are with
   OpenOffice.org compared to your former solution

Except for the data that is marked as confidential I will share
the information with all of you, so that you can all benefit
from it! Stay tuned!


Many thanks for your support in advance and all the best,
Erwin
