The system enhances data quality while enabling the actors involved to save both time and costs.

With this application, almost 600 employees from around 50 organisations for victims' assistance, as well as law firms that cooperate with these organisations throughout Austria insert in the system the services that they provided.

According to an online magazine aimed at users of the Linux Operating System, since 2008 the Austrian justice ministry has migrated several thousands of desktop PCs to OpenOffice, in a "complete success story" worth highlighting.

The decision was taken in 2007, said Christian Adorjan from Austria's Federal Computing Centre (BRZ), during a recent presentation at the OSSBIG-conference. At that time, there was an operating system update, since the proprietary software provider of the Ministry was phasing out the support for the previously used operating system. In this framework, the software features were reviewed and it was concluded that the users were not satisfied with the office tools employed at the time. The Lotus Word Pro was used as a word processing tool while in house-developed software was used as text editor.
