Some factors that might weigh in to your decision are as follows:
The organization currently has 25 employees
Employees frequently collaborate on creating and editing files
The majority of employees travel frequently for work
You’ve narrowed it down to the following three possibilities:
Microsoft Office: http://www.microsoftstore.com/
OpenOffice: https://www.openoffice.org/
