In New Delhi: Microsoft has announced the availability of office 2010 system in India. While the new productivity suite is available for commercial purchase from today, the company informed that the retail editions would be launched on 15 June this year.
The company further informed that the 2010 professional edition will cost INR20,000, and the SMB and Consumer versions would cost at INR10,000 and INR5,000, respectively.
The company, along with Office 2010, has also released the SharePoint 2010 collaboration suite. According to Forrester Research, companies deploying office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Exchange2010 and office communication server 2007 R2 can expect over 300% ROI in less than a year.
The new edition of Microsoft Office 2010 has introduced many new features like embed videos in PowerPoint presentations, voice-to-text conversion for voice mails on Outlook etc. However, IT Next notes that except the new collaboration feature which allows users to integrate with Microsoft's widely publicised Web Apps, the latest version, considering the high-price tag, doesn't seems to compel users to go for the upgrade straightaway.
Microsoft also announced that Office Mobile 2010 will soon be available on Windows 6.5 phones and a broad range of Nokia smart phones, starting with Nokias business-optimised range, the E-series.
