,----[ Quote ]
| A leading bank in India saved Rs 100 crore by moving from MS Office to
Open
| Office. It is simple mathematicsâif MS Office costs Rs 11,000 per user,
and
| the organization has 1,00,000 desktops, the company would save a cool Rs
110
| crore on licensing costs if it moved to Open Office. Even if we budget Rs
10
| crore for training and support costs, the company would end up saving Rs
100
| crore.
