I tested 3.0 in a near-final RC3 version, and was pleased with the progress that the project has made toward improving format compatibility and feature parity with Microsoft Office. While hasn’t achieved the same measure of mainstream adoption as its ideological cousin, the Firefox Web browser, the freely available office suite has helped advance the state of file format standardisation, to the extent that Microsoft first developed its own open file format and is now prepared to include support for the ISO-standard OpenDocument format in Office 2007. Now, nine years later, Sun is on the verge of a major 3.0 release of the project that grew up around that code base,. The office in the heart of the financial and business district of Bogota will be the 5th company office after Dubai, Johannesburg, Barcelona and Singapore.Īdriana Suarez, Executive Director of Invest in Bogota, said the investment “shows Bogota is ideal for telecommunications consulting operations thanks to its access markets, qualified human resurces, strategic location and competitive costs.When Sun Microsystems bought the little-known StarOffice productivity suite in 1999, and soon thereafter released the product’s code base as open-source software, it was unclear how far the arguably quixotic initiative might reach – and what damage it could possibly wreak on Microsoft’s ironclad grip on the office productivity market. Latin America accounts for about 10% of the global telecommunications industry with a contribution of about $150 billion in revenue, said Invest in Bogota.Ĭolombia has led the deployment of broadband in rural and less priviliged areas and the rest of Latin America is now pursuing similar initiatives which has resulted in a significant increase in infrastructure investments, this unprecedented level of activity requires “adapting to the new market which will require the acquisition of technical and functional capabilities that most telecom operators don’t have,” said Daniel Torras, part of the management team of Delta Partners in Colombia. The strategic consulting company and investor in telecommunications, media and technology will open a new office in Bogota from which Delta Partners will serve its growing customer base in the region, according to Invest in Bogota in a press release.
Consulting company Delta Partners will open its regional headquarters in Bogota in order to reach the Latin American market, the city’s investment promotion agency announced Monday.
