|
This is an excerpt
Executive Summary
Microsoft's Office 2007 desktop applications feature a new user experience, an integrated graphics engine, support for a new XML-based file format, numerous optional interdependencies with SharePoint Server 2007, and a host of optional online services, the latter two pointing to perhaps the most important aspects of Office 2007 desktop apps for enterprises. The Office programs now coexist with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, and, together, the two promise to tackle how information workers author, use, collaborate on, and manage information. Stay away from generalized evaluations of Office 2007 desktop apps, and don't simply compare this new release with Office 2003, XP, or 2000. Instead, focus on how distinct roles within the enterprise — such as financial analysts, marketers, or legal — could benefit from this new release of desktop and server technology, and plan on role-based rollouts.
