I am investigating technology solutions on behalf of a small-medium sized
inner-city finance firm. The firm is looking at a number of possible
technology options. At the moment the firm has about 20x Pentium II PC's
running Windows 95, 98, and 2000 and MS Office 95 and 97.  The firm is
looking at moving to either stand-alone workstations or thin clients running
linux, and MS Office (by use of Codeweavers CrossOver product -See
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/office/ and
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxofficeserver/.). The workstations will
be upgraded, but only if they need to be.

I am trying to ascertain what is possible, and whether a (thick/thin client)
linux (running CrossOver Office and MS Office) is robust enough in an
commercial environment for use by this financial firm. I am unsure of the
hardware requirements and the coverage of technical support available for
such a setup. (Note: the firm does not have dedicated IT staff.) To further
this goal, I am looking for any organisations that have implemented any
similar system in New Zealand, Australia and other parts of the world.

Thanks,

Oliver Bannatyne
Technology Consultant.
