Today,
Bradley Associates publicized the unveiling of the Giant Software Microsoft of
its new Office suite of solutions for tablets and other touchscreen devices by
the Company CEO- Steve Ballmer at San Francisco. The new release features the
classic Word, PowerPoint and Excel, but has been revalued to make use of touch
devices, stylus and mouse interfaces. Ballmer stated “We are taking bold steps
at Microsoft. The new, modern Office will deliver unparalleled productivity and
flexibility for both consumers and business customers. It is a cloud service
and will fully light-up when paired with Windows 8.” It is said that the
full-pledged suite is forecasted to be out only next year. Moreover,
smartphones and tablet PCs usage at workplaces is on the rise globally and
employees are being offered the choice by companies to use applications and
data in the cloud. According to Bradley Associates research from
http://www.investopedia.com, Cloud computing is a model for delivering
information technology services in which resources are retrieved from the
internet through web-based tools and applications, rather than a direct
connection to a server. Data and software packages are stored in servers.
However, cloud computing structure allows access to information as long as an
electronic device has access to the web. This type of system allows employees
to work remotely. Furthermore, Cloud computing is so named because the
information being accessed is found in the “clouds”, and does not require a
user to be in a specific place to gain access to it. Companies may find that
cloud computing allows them to reduce the cost of information management, since
they are not required to own their own servers and can use capacity leased from
third parties. Additionally, the cloud-like structure allows companies to
upgrade software more quickly. In view of the new suite, it makes use of cloud
computing and also incorporates Skype, the video-calling service acquired by
Microsoft in 2011 for USD 8.5 billion. The launch comes at an important time as
competitors like Google are making strong inroads into enterprises with
productivity solutions, which has been a strong driver for Microsoft. While the
full lineup of offerings and pricing plans will be announced in the fall,
Ballmer said three new Office 365 services — Home Premium, Small Business
Premium and ProPlus — will be available on subscription basis. In addition,
subscribers will receive future rights to version upgrades as well as per-use
rights across up to five PCs or Macs and mobile devices, but no timelines were
given.
