We help companies avoid unnecessary costs, risks, productivity loss, and other problems that can arise from not having a strategy. This article will help you to understand the important details to consider when moving to a newer version. Here are some common issues that companies encounter during a migration process.s
The most common problem for your help desk and workers is interlinked documents, or links. The file extensions’ names are different in the new Microsoft Office. File links will not work with the updated MS Office because the file name has changed.
Another important aspect to consider is security. Microsoft Office uses the Trust Center to protect documents. It is important that you consider its settings as part of the migration. Access applications were protected by Work group Security (.MDW), prior to Office 2007. Microsoft Office 2007 (native mode) does not support Work group security. This makes it essential to plan and implement the security model in all deployments.
Compatibility Mode is tempting for many enterprises, but they forget the limitations of this approach. Perhaps the most important aspect of Office XP is the absence of compatibility mode and co-existence features. You are effectively denying users access to the latest Office version’s productivity-enhancing features.
There are many other issues to be considered before you jump into the latest version of Microsoft Office. There is no single right way to migrate and each company must plan accordingly.
To ensure a smooth, cost-effective and time-efficient deployment, a partner with experience is the best choice. They will guide you through each step from employee training to critical files evaluation.
