Based on their initial experience with the software, data on the user perception and attitude towards OpenOffice.org software were collected.
The findings shows that mostly the administrative staff in UUM have never aware of the OpenOffice.org software before. The results obtained indicate that only 14 percent of the total participants know about the OpenOffice.org. In
