ED#214 : Microsoft Helps Professionals Embrace New World Of Work With Office 2016
On the 12th of October 2015, Microsoft Malaysia invited us to a Microsoft Office 2016 event called New Ways of Work (NWoW). It was a cozy little affair at the Crave Cafe with Bruce Howe, Director of Consumer Channels Group, Microsoft Malaysia; and Ananthram Balakrishnan, Business Group Lead of Apps Services and Marketing, Microsoft Malaysia.
Bruce talked about a Microsoft Asia Pacific survey called the "New World of Work", which targeted 200 individuals from 10 different Asia Pacific countries working in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). With a total of 2,000 respondents, the study unlocked insights into how today's employees perceive their ability to succeed in the new digital, fast-paced work place.
Ananthram then showed off the new collaborative features of Microsoft Office 2016. Amongst its notable features are its co-authoring function, which allows users to see each other's edits live, as they make them in Word, PowerPoint and OneNote.
Along with Office 2016, Microsoft also announced new and enhanced Office 365 services built for better collaboration. Existing and nwe customers can count on the latest, up-to-date apps for use across their devices, as well as unlimited OneDrive online storage and enterprise-grade security.
The new Microsoft Office 2016 is available in 40 languages and require Windows 7 or later. Office Home & Business 2016 is priced at RM 1,099 (~US$255), while Office Home & Student 2016 is priced at RM 449.99 (~US$104).
Office 365 subscribers can choose to download the new Office 2016 apps starting this month. The retail pricing for Office 365 Personal has been adjusted to RM 219.99 (~US$49.99) per year, and Office 365 Home now costs RM 299.99 (~US$69.99) per year.
