According to the company, more than 90 million businesses can now deploy the 2010 suite of products, and customers can expect to see significant productivity gains and better return on their software investments.
The company claims that Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 beta programs were the largest ever, with three times the number of participants compared with the Office 2007 beta program.
Office 2010 and related products deliver new capabilities to connect and collaborate with co-authoring in Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft OneNote; work virtually anywhere with Microsoft Office Web Apps; help bring ideas to life with video, text and image editing; and access data to make real-time decisions using the business intelligence capabilities.
SharePoint 2010 delivers the business collaboration platform for the enterprise and internet, enabling developers to respond to business needs with custom applications and solutions.
Through design integration with Visual Studio 2010, developers can use familiar application development tools to create, package and debug SharePoint solutions. It also includes rich application programming interfaces and support for Open XML, Microsoft Silverlight, Representational State Transfer and Language-Integrated Query, which help developers build applications.
Stephen Elop, president for Microsoft Business Division, said: “Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 define the future of productivity. With the 2010 set of products, organizations will save, innovate and grow as their people benefit from working across the PC, phone and browser.”
