The worrying bit is the "save 100 million on Office Productivity
software", which makes you wonder if an open source alternative hadn't
been around they would have spent that much of software which would have
cost less to write from scratch?

Just as the most a company should ever cost is how much it would cost to
replace it, the same rule obviously applies to software purchasing.

And as for the 30 million saved on forms and stationary, welcome to the
world of e-Government.
