IMPROVING PERFORMANCEUTILIZING NEW & EXISTING HARDWARE

Page 6: Overivew Of Microsoft Office 2010 For It Professionals

Office 2010 design decisions were made to optimize existing hardware

− System requirements are unchanged from Office 2007 except for disk space needs, 1.5 GB increase

− Office 2010 runs well on Netbooks− Boot experience is smoother− Several specific areas where performance is much improved

− Excel charting− Outlook speed improved in several areas− PowerPoint animation performance

And also to take advantage of new hardware investments− Better multi-core processor utilization− 64-bit & 32-bit versions of the client − X64 enables huge grids for Power Excel users− PowerPoint advances on graphics cards

Services Efficiencies− Change Level Synching – SharePoint Workspace− Co-authoring – minimize email of files

Take Control of Your DataApplication and Data Services, open formats and standards-based interoperability

Office and SharePoint Platform: Design Access applications and present them to users via a browser with Access Services. Utilize new (x) in Excel and Excel Services to present a single version of the truth. Leverage open formats for mining legacy with the Open XML. Build applications in Office using standards: LINQ, REST, XML and more.

Potential savings/efficiency gains: Integrating Office applications using common standards simplifies and shortens development cycles and improves sustainability. Using Office to publish Access & Excel to the Web improves data governance & IT visibility into data utilization.

Challenge: Unlocking the data stored in legacy documents to retain critical IP, while improving manageability of end user applications and data
