When you break down the IT budget, it’s often difficult to find room to maneuver. Organizations must maintain and upgrade business-critical solutions and applications, and priority projects quickly absorb remaining funds. In some cases, however, the amount you pay for application license renewals may be out of balance with the value that the applications actually deliver to users and the organization. This is often true with office productivity applications.

The IBM Lotus Symphony suite—which is available at no charge—can help you take back control of your IT budget while giving most users the tools they need to excel at their jobs. IBM Lotus Symphony tools enable users to create, edit and share word processing documents, spreadsheets and presentations.

If there were a more cost-effective solution that provided the capabilities and features that most users need and that worked with existing applications required by power users—organizations could break out of a costly upgrade cycle and better allocate IT funds.

Of course, it’s understood that in an enterprise environment, “free” doesn’t mean no cost. You must consider roll out, training and support costs. Regardless, Lotus Symphony software can still help free up large amounts of money over the long run.
