"Open Standards in the Enterprise"

Welcome to our product pages with information on solutions for enterprises / organizations
based on open formats and software interoperability standards that are freely available and implementable.
OpenFormat is part of the NewFormat AB portal.

We help your venture to be independent of proprietary/vendor owned document formats.
By that we help you to heavily cut your direct license costs for office software,
to maximize your return on your ICT investment !

We do it with open document formats
OpenDocument Format (ODF) and Portable Document Format/Archive (PDF/A) - Popup
and office software suites such as Oracle Open Office Enterprise Edition and OpenOffice.org
combined with support services Oracle Premier Support as option.

We do it in partnership with Oracle, the company that has contributed approximately 95%
of the source code in OpenOffice.org - which secure the most critical business needs.

Enterprises typically need a strategy and sufficient support in order to
reap the full advantages of using or deploying applications based on open standards.

Liberate your information by challenging established truths and behaviours

Considering to upgrade your enterprise to MS Office 2007, but feels it is too expensive ?
Then explore our very competitive alternative offerings for
Oracle Open Office Enterprise Edition (from 100 users or more) with optional Oracle Premier Support,
or Oracle Premier Support for OpenOffice.org.

Ok, it sounds great so far, but you first want to try the software out ?
We then recommend that you download, install, run and verify
the basic functionality of OpenOffice.org 3,
and then come back here for a quotation for
Oracle Open Office 3 Enterprise Edition
with its enhanced enterprise functionality and complete enterprise support services for
large scale deployment in your organisation - for a fraction of the license costs for MS Office.

You do see the advantage of using open document formats,
to cut cost and to regain ownership of your organisations documents,
but are locked-in by your current MS Office licenses that effectively prevents
your organisation to move to an alternative office suite in the near future.
No problem !
You can already today implement ODF in your current version of MS Office and
by that have the full freedom to deploy an alternative office software suite at a later date.
This is how to do it:
Order and install Oracle ODF Plugin v3.2 for
Microsoft 2010, Microsoft Office 2007 (Service Pack 1 or later), Microsoft Office 2003, XP och Microsoft Office 2000,
to read/edit/save Microsoft Word, Excel och Powerpoint in OpenDocument Format (ODF 1.2)
combined with Oracle Premier Support as option.

For server-based volume conversion of MS Office office documents into
OpenDocument Format (ODF) or Portable Document Format/Archive (PDF/A) (for archiving purposes)
we recommend to use Oracle Open Office Server PDF Converter.
