Office 2010 Purchase and Installation Decisions

By Sue Hughes
July 28, 2011

We all know how budget constraints, deployment, support, client needs and training resources can ' and often do ' affect IT managers' decisions on which software to purchase and deploy. However, when updating to Office 2010, there is more to it than meets the eye ' and the Microsoft Office 2010 marketing presentations can be very enticing.

Consider which third-party add-ins are “mission-critical” to your firm and need to integrate with Office 2010. My guess, to name only a few, would be: 1) document management system; 2) e-mail management system; 3) forms/templates package; 4) metadata cleaner; 5) paragraph numbering tool; 6) Outlook integrated online meeting software; 7) PDF converters, 8) anti-virus or malware software; and 9) a whole slew of others that I'm not even thinking of at the moment.
