StarOffice 8

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)

StarOffice 8 is the complete, full-power, Microsoft-compatible office productivity suite that delivers a dramatic cost advantage for your users and your customers.

Features

Added Value for Your Customers
There's a good reason OEMs distribute low-cost StarOffice 8 office software pre-installed on their equipment. StarOffice 8 can be an attractive, cost-saving offer for both home and business customers, improving the value of your product. The StarOffice 8 office suite can significantly lower a customer's cost of entry, and it encourages them to get more from their hardware.

Added Marketing Support for Your Budget
Sun can offer you a wide range of co-marketing opportunities to help sell StarOffice 8 software to new customers. Our leveraged resources are available and ready to use.

Lower Your Internal Software Costs Big Time
StarOffice 8 software for OEMs is available at an extremely low cost on a Sun Right to Use (RTU) License. If you have a lot of users, the discounted savings over the price of Microsoft Office are huge. The Sun RTU License also provides the right to install up to five copies of StarOffice 8 per user on systems within the organization.

Sun Hardware Customer Savings
For OEM customers, StarOffice 8 is offered at a big discount through the OEM Sales Group. Check the volume discounts for your account. In addition, whether it's for you or your customers, new Sun hardware comes with StarOffice 8 pre-installed.

OEM-quality Support
As an OEM, you have critical support issues with your customers. Sun is the company to give you global, 24/7, mission-critical support—or simple email answers—when your customers need help.

More Efficient User Provisioning
Both StarOffice 8 and Microsoft Office are fully equipped with all the office functionality users need. But in manufacturing companies especially, not all users actually need the full set. Why pay so much more for applications that may never be opened by a portion of your user base? Now you don't have to.

No Document Left Behind
StarOffice documents and templates are saved in the new OASIS OpenDocument format, the international standard for office software. StarOffice 8 also offers XForm support, XML filter imports and exports, and free PDF export functionality.
