Our neighbours have adopted the Open Document Format. Can Singapore move towards becoming vendor-agnostic and more user-centric? My personal opinion is that the Singapore government’s IT plans are often too vendor dependent.
Don’t even get me started on our efforts for a standard operating environment.
Adopt open standards and avoid chaining yourself to proprietary solutions.

While Open Office is free, it is a real headache too and it actually reduces our level of productivity.
