The Office Productivity Application Migration guidelines were developed to address the concerns of the Texas Legislature for state information to be interoperable and readily available, now and in the future, to the public and to provide guidance to help state agencies develop a migration strategy for office productivity applications.

The House of Representatives’ Government Reform Committee, in its Interim report to the 81st Legislature, recommended that DIR develop a comprehensive guide that state agencies could use when determining whether to purchase open or proprietary software during natural software upgrade cycles. This guide is the result of that recommendation.
