University of Toronto at Scarborough Standardizes on StarOffice
Yahoo reports, University of Toronto at Scarborough Standardizes on StarOffice for all Student Computing Resources.
“There were a number of compelling technical reasons for us to provide StarOffice to our 10,000 users, and in the end it came down to ubiquity and value for our students,” said Dr. Philip Wright, Director, Computing and Networking Services, University of Toronto at Scarborough. “StarOffice meets the needs of all of our students, independent of their area of study or their choice of operating system.”
“StarOffice has seen considerable uptake in Ontario academic circles. In May 2004, the Ontario Ministry of Education acquired StarOffice licenses for the Province’s 72 public and Catholic school boards. More than 2.5 million students now have access to the leading alternative office suite on Windows.”
Another sizable migration to add to the list of university and educational switchers. Watch out for the Tipping Point ahead!
