Overview
The 2007 Microsoft Office system goes beyond the desktop to deliver broader,
immensely powerful capabilities that can help you and your team greatly improve business performance.
Office system as a platform
Microsoft Office has evolved from a suite of individual productivity technologies to a comprehensive,
integrated system. Building on familiar tools, the Microsoft Office system includes server platforms,
desktop applications, and online services—all designed to work together to help address a broad
array of business needs.
Working with the 2007 Office system, developers may no longer need to build systems from the ground up:
they can simply leverage the new and extensible Fluent User Interface to assemble and extend components
in order to design and develop powerful, customized applications that offer immediate business benefits.
ISVs can take advantage of this platform to deliver innovative, customized solutions to customers:
- The Open XML format allows developers to integrate productivity applications with information
systems that manage business processes through the use of custom schemas.
- Applications built on these systems—or Office Business Applications (OBAs)—
take advantage of the user-friendly 2007 Microsoft Office system user interface to make LOB systems more
accessible for your customers and their employees.
