Perspectives
“Adoption of the ISO Standard OpenDocument Format has grown significantly in the past year, as more governments and businesses around the world embrace the standard, this plug-in will simplify and further accelerate implementation of ODF by allowing users to standardize their work flows on ODF, so that they become vendor independent and can choose between multiple implementations and suppliers going forward.” —Marino Marcich, Managing Director, ODF Alliance, a group of more than 420 organizations, governments and companies that promotes and advances the use of OpenDocument Format as the primary document format for governments.
“Organizations can now consider switching to ISO/IEC 26300 OpenDocument Format while protecting employees needing assistive devices only supported by legacy Microsoft software. ODF is important because it ensures documents will still be readable long into the future while allowing a wide choice of proprietary and open source software choices to work with the documents.” —Rich Green, Executive Vice President, Software, Sun Microsystems.
