- Interface - MS Office has always provided a very rich user experience, especially with the 2010 release. The Google interface has always been a bit bland, and lacks the aesthetics which Office so proudly displays.
- Integration - Each Office application integrates seamlessly with each other and makes transitioning between various workloads a breeze.
- Familiarity - Most of us have grown up using Office products, which makes it very hard to lean towards another solution. Google Apps is fairly new and transitioning to a new system makes anyone a bit wary.
- Features - This point is simply non-negotiable. Office reigns supreme as each one of its applications can satisfy the basic needs of a novice, all the way to the advanced needs of a professional.
- Could - Originally, this was the most advantageous reason to use Google Apps. It being a cloud service simplified deployment, management, maintenance, DR, etc. However, Microsoft's push of Office 365, SBS 2011, etc., will ensure Office will dominate in the cloud as well.
Simply put, Microsoft Office is the de facto standard in the enterprise game. It proviced a suite of robust and powerful tools that simply cannot be matched. Trigon can customize these services to fit your needs.
We continue to evaluate each service that could be a perfect fit for our clients and we will also present our engineers opinions on the technology we interact with every day.
