Replacing Microsoft Office with Apache Cocoon

An interesting article over on zdnet on how to displace Microsoft Office:

I’m not aware of anything that you can do within the Microsoft ecosystem that you can’t do at least as well, but more reliabily and for a lot less per document, using Cocoon

It’s slightly disingenuous to suggest incoming documents can be converted and reformatted without significant challenges, but I certainly agree with the idea of Cocoon as a repurposing and republishing tool, assuming you can get your data into a suitable starting format such as XML.
