ApriorIT Releases AutomateIT!, an Open-Source Solution Called to Automate Integration of OpenOffice With Office Software
ApriorIT Inc., a provider of offshore system software development services, has solved the problem of automating the integration of OpenOffice with software which exports reports or other data to Microsoft Office; the product is available to the Open Source community.
Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine (PRWEB) May 26, 2005 -- ApriorIT announced the
release of alpha version of AutomateIT!, an open-source solution called to meet
budgetary and business needs of primarily small and mid-sized companies. After
AutomateIT! installation office automation software that export data to
Microsoft Office will be exporting them to OpenOffice instead, all this without
any changes to the existing applications. This fact gives companies an
opportunity to reduce office automation costs and serves as an additional
argument for switching to OpenOffice and exploring its features.
The
creation of AutomateIT! had been inspired by a proof-of-concept program provided
to Applianz Technologies, Inc. (http://www.applianz.com) and for this reason the product has
limited functionality. As CEO of ApriorIT, Dennis Turpitka, said, “We solved the
most complex tasks, including feasibility analysis and implementing the support
for certain MS Office functions and objects. We understand the potential benefit
of AutomateIT! and therefore decided to make it available to the Open Source
community.“
The solution has been released under GNU Lesser General
Public License (LGPL) and this gives the developers and system integrators
additional advantages in comparison with GPL, including even the right to not
disclose the complete source code of their non-free products that will be using
AutomateIT! as part of them.
AutomateIT! package can be obtained from its
SourceForge.net page (https://sourceforge.net/projects/automateit), documentation
and project news also can be found there.
