<p>
OpenDoc is a simple, open standard that greatly eases the development
process. In addition, because of their relative simplicity, OpenDoc
components are easier to debug, maintain and document than other
applications. OpenDoc also allows developers to respond more quickly to
user's changing needs. Its components are small and focused, resulting in
faster development cycles. Developers can update their OpenDoc products
without having to revise a huge application.
<p>
OpenDoc also allows smaller developers to focus on their particular area
of specialty. For example, instead of creating a complete full-featured
word processor, a developer could create just a single-function equation
editor component. This will open new worlds of opportunity for developers
to create custom solutions for specific tasks. And OpenDoc documents are
scriptable, which allows developers, integrators and repackagers to
provide unique solutions to users by gluing existing OpenDoc parts
together with a script language such as Object REXX.
<p>
All developers are guaranteed access to OpenDoc's nonproprietary
technology. This helps to level the playing field between smaller ISVs
and large software houses. At the same time, OpenDoc expands the market
for all vendors by allowing them to deliver their solutions across many
platforms and protocols. Developers don't need to choose between OpenDoc
and OLE because OpenDoc offers a superset of Microsoft OLE's
functionality; developers can write for OpenDoc while maintaining
compatibility with OLE.
