Assessing Office Application Compatibility with the Readiness Toolkit Tom Doyle Program Manager
Your time is precious… Office upgrade is one of many critical IT projects Compatibility issues and concerns delay and make it hard to plan upgrade
Customer feedback – 800 enterprises “Thanks for the report. Although I knew it would provide informative data, I had no idea how effective it would be in assisting me to expedite the development and maintenance process. It pointed out specific areas of the applications I had not explored yet and allowed me to not only modify those sections but prompted me to look at other unexplored regions. I was confident yesterday but this has turned into absolute certainty today. Thanks for your assistance.” “I expected 15% of all our 600,000 Office 2007 files (90,000) to have VBA issues to fix. However the tool identified just 1200 files that needed remediation. That is incredible!” “Office Telemetry Dashboard is complicated to roll-out and use. Can you provide a simpler solution? Can you also provide objective add-in readiness assessment?”
