Microsoft Office is the most popular desktop application suite
in the world today. When Microsoft Office is developed and integrated as a
single solution the full potential of the Office Suite is realised. Below are
3 major advantages of using an integrated Microsoft Office solution.
|
|
|
| Office Supports an Integrated development Environment
|
The suite of Microsoft Office applications share the same
programming language. This gives developers the framework necessary to build
software solutions that are tightly integrated and seamlessly share data and
information.
|
|
Users and Business already use the Microsoft Office Suite
|
|
Microsoft Office is used by millions of people as their main
work software tool. It makes sense then to leverage the knowledge and
experience of users and development solutions in an environment in which they
are already productive.
|
|
|
| Great User acceptance with a familiar Environment
|
One of the great challenges of providing software solutions is
getting user acceptance of the new software application.
This factor alone can
effectively make or break a project.
Because users are familiar with Microsoft
Office it is possible to get user participation very early in the design
process, which is a great way of getting user ownership and acceptance in a
project.
Also if users are familiar with an application the learn curve is
reduced, which can dramatically reduce training and support costs.
