“Canadian software maker Corel scored a significant contract win
and a minor public relations victory when it announced that the
Justice Department will begin to widely use the company’s office
productivity software.
Corel said today that the DOJ will install more than 55,000
‘seats’ of its WordPerfect Office 2000 productivity software.
Some 30 percent of the individual licenses will consist of a
specialized version aimed at use in law offices. The multimillion
dollar deal spans three years, the company said.”
“Corel spokesperson Ainley Marcinyk said she saw no irony in the
news that the DOJ signed a contract with Corel since the DOJ
had been using WordPerfect since before Corel bought the software
from Novell in 1996.”
