The UK government recently announced it is making progress in its Whitehall-wide adoption of Open Document Format (ODF), a move that has been welcomed by industry experts.
The Government Digital Service (GDS) has published a guidance manual designed to help government Departments move over to Open Document Format (ODF).
The UK government claims a number of Departments are now starting to publish in open formats with support from major software providers.
A consultation that was launched several months ago with the remit of saving money decided on the standard in order to also provide easier collaboration with the public.
