The Microsoft Office system has evolved from a suite of personal productivity products to a more comprehensive and integrated system. Building on the familiar tools that many people already know, the Microsoft Office system includes programs, servers, services and solutions designed to work together to help address a broad array of business problems.
At the core of the Microsoft Office system are the Microsoft Office Editions, which deliver the core desktop productivity tools. New features in these programs enhance how employees can work with one another, partners, and customers, and how organisations capture and use information. In addition to the core desktop editions, the Office 2007 release of Office system includes new programs, servers and services that build on the productivity software skills your employees already possess.
Used together, the Microsoft Office system can help you address business needs ranging from personal productivity management to complex project management.
