Extract

Learning from his own mistakes, Holt offers this advice to IT shops who
want to dump MS Office for non-Microsoft desktops:

-   Remove the outgoing office suite and enforce usage of OpenOffice.
    "Once someone is used to it, they don't go back," Holt said. There
    has to be a "no-going-back policy." 
-   Talk about success stories to show that others have been able to
    make the change and like it.  
-   Relate the cost savings to company profitability and potential
    salary/benefit increases.
