Global Add-on application extensions

Some of the most important software development companies, such as IBM and SUN Microsystems, developed special technologies to involve the independent software developers to satisfy all needs of the users. IBM was the first leader with starting service-oriented architecture (SOA), but SUN followed them rapidly with SOA-based UNO models of OpenOffice.org. The OASIS organization approved Open Document Format (ODF) as the ISO standard file format for office applications in 2006, so these applications have a 100% compatibility. The independent software developers can join these applications with several Add-on components or extensions.
In 2007, MultiRacio Ltd. joined and developed a new version of the OpenOffice.org-based EuroOffice package supporting 7 languages (English, German, French, Spain, Italian, Polish and Hungarian). It contains add-on components instead of the integrated functions, so they are available as any extensions. The ODF-based EuroOffice 2008 Pro is already released in this structure. So we have developed 4 add-on extensions that can be applied globally and used everywhere in the world with OpenOffice.org reaching 2 million downloads/week last month.
