"...proprietary products need little training to use and, generally speaking, boast a wider set of features."
It looks like none of that factored into the city's decision. It sounds like most of the costs they had were migration related. The rest of the issues were due to the network effects of MS Office being industry standard.
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoWhere by "standard" you mean proprietary, closed, hideous barnacle encrusted disaster of a format, that not even Microsoft could figure out when it became politically useful for them to pretend to document it.
- bobajeff 11y agoActually, I'm not talking about the format but the whole product. And by industry standard I mean the tool adopted in industry standard practice.
