There is some information in the linked article about Open Source 
Software that may be relevant to the marketing of LibreOffice.

There may be more info from the resources and surveys listed that would 
help with the marketing to schools, businesses, and governments.

their business costs down, along with other "perks" of OOS and FOSS.

"Open source software moves into all businesses

Summary: A Black Duck survey and the Linux Collaboration Summit both
