The last two years have demonstrated the importance of having tools that facilitate connectivity and virtual communication. Therefore, Intcomex offers its customers two vital solutions in these times: Microsoft 365 and Office 2021, which feature Microsoft Teams to promote interaction with anyone at any time, whether it is chat, calls or video.
“Creating together virtually is part of the new normal. We want everyone who uses Office to be able to do this, regardless of whether they use Microsoft 365, Office 2021, Office.com or the Office mobile app, so we’ve incorporated many of the collaboration features already available to Microsoft 365 subscribers into Office 2021,” explains Liat Ben-Zur, Corporate Vice President of Modern Life, Search and Devices at Microsoft.
“With real-time co-authoring, you can work with others on the same document at the same time. There is no need to send additional notes or emails because everyone will be notified when a file is updated.”
Office is transforming for the hybrid world
The new work and educational environments have demanded that traditional communication tools and face-to-face collaboration be complemented with online chats and meetings, and digital content be extended beyond traditional documents to more fluid and dynamic spaces.
In this modern landscape, Microsoft Office transforms to make Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Microsoft Outlook better than ever before, thanks to the integration of Microsoft Teams and artificial intelligence with cloud technology across the Web, desktop and mobile devices.
“We’re reinventing Office, adding new apps to respond to new opportunities and making Office a universal, interactive canvas for creators of all kinds,” says Wangui McKelvey, General Manager, Microsoft 365. “To enhance collaboration, we created Microsoft Loop, a new application that combines an efficient and flexible canvas with portable components that move freely and stay in sync across applications, enabling teams to think, plan and create collaboratively.”
Among the specific new features of Office 2021, which can now be purchased from Intcomex, through the WebStore in each country, are the following:
- Document co-authoring: allows you to work with other people on the same document at the same time. There is no need to send additional notes or e-mails, because all users will be notified when a file is updated.
- Better collaboration with modern commenting: You can control when comments are sent to co-authors and be more productive with a consistent commenting experience across Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Visual upgrade: You can work with a modernized startup experience and newly updated ribbon tabs. Experience a clean and clear style with monoline iconography, neutral color palette and softer window corners. These updates communicate actions and provide features with simple visual objects.
At Microsoft, we believe in “No seat left behind” approach: It can be easy to overlook very small businesses as a valuable opportunity, as they aren’t always ready for the cloud and/or partner-managed IT. However, by taking the “no seat left behind” approach and being aware of all the options Microsoft has for SMBs, you can capture more customers and boost your revenue.
