Italian Manufacturer Abandons OpenOffice.org for Improved Productivity and Workflows

Italian furniture designer and manufacturer Euromobil Group started in 1972 as Euromobil, a firm that specialized in home furnishings. The addition of Zalf and Désirée to the company allowed the new and bigger Euromobil Group to extend its product offerings and enter new markets. The growing multi-million dollar company suffered integration woes on the OpenOffice.org platform, which was also difficult to manage and update. Euromobil Group turned to Microsoft Office and SharePoint to provide an infrastructure that improved automation and collaboration.
