MIGRATION IN-DEPTH, PART 2: TEARING AWAY MS OFFICE'S TENTACLES

"Microsoft's tentacles reach deep inside many of the 500 applications used by 
Health First Inc.'s three hospitals and multiple medical facilities in 
Brevard County, Fla. To get as many departments using OpenOffice as possible, 
Health First's migration team is putting its apps under a microscope and 
getting tough with MS-only third-party application vendors. 

In part two of this migration story, Health First network administrators Danny 
J. Wall and Daniel Bray describe their step-by-step OpenOffice implementation 
process. In part one, they explained why Health First is backing away from 
Microsoft Office and choosing OpenOffice. Then, in part three, Wall tells us 
how Health First is bringing in and will be using Novell's new Linux 
services."
