‘What is OpenOffice and Why Should Your Business Use It?’ – Small Business Trends
David William says, “OpenOffice, sometimes abbreviated as OO, is a free and open-source office productivity software suite offered by The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, graphics, and more.
What is OpenOffice? A Free Productivity Suite.
The office productivity software suite is available in many languages and is compatible with all major operating systems, including Apple MacOS, Microsoft Windows and Linux. It includes four main applications: Writer, Calc, Impress, and Base – which are basically competitors to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access respectively.
Because OO is free, it can save you money that you would need to buy costly office productivity suites in the market. This cost can be an unwanted expense if your business is on a tight budget.
How Apache OpenOffice Works
According to ASF, Apache OpenOffice is the result of over twenty years’ software engineering. It is a mature and stable product that has been downloaded over 200 million times worldwide, as of 2016″.
