Office 12 Insider Reports

Yes, the title is misleading but it got your attention. This is actually regarding Lawrence Liu’s report from the Office 12 Curriculum Design Summit where Microsoft TS and consultants got together to review the new training material for Office 12. This product is a year out, is incomplete at best, so why should you care? Well, have you seen the screenshot? This is one of the most ambitious releases since 1997, with a completely new interface, behavior and look. If you’re in the SMB you know the folks that only know how to do things on their computer one way – and that one way is usually documented and taped to the monitor. If a new prompt comes up, or they get a question they can’t figure out they pick up the phone and call the IT department.

So get on the beta (mentioned how to get on it the other day) get training early and take a look at some of the PDC presentations to get a starting point:

# DAT315_Welcker_McKulka.ppt — Building Portals And Dashboards For Business Intelligence And Reporting Applications
# OFF308_Ammerlaan.ppt — Windows SharePoint Services ‘v3′: Creating And Defining Custom Templates, Sites, Features, And Solutions
# OFF310_Morton.ppt — Windows SharePoint Services “v3”: Developing Collaboration And Tracking Applications
# OFF313_Stocker.ppt — Web Content Management Application Development and Engine Extensibility
# OFF314_Lefferts.ppt — Developing Enterprise Document Solutions Using Office Client And Server Technologies
# OFF318_Lefferts.ppt — Developing Document Archiving, Records Management, And Policy Enforcement Extensions To The Microsoft Office System
# OFF320_Sherman.ppt — Developing With Microsoft Office System Search Technology
# OFF321_Burke.ppt — Surfacing Your Application’s Line-of-Business Data And Actions Within Enterprise Portals In Office “12”
# OFF405_Ammerlaan.ppt — Windows SharePoint Services “v3”: Using ASP.NET 2.0 Technology To Extend Pages, Sites, And Server Farms
# OFF409_Friesenhahn.ppt — Windows SharePoint Services: Advancements In Document, Content, And Data Storage

“its a year out”

then why bother? You know just about everything will change from now until then.

The more I look at this the more I realize how big of an opportunity Office 12 will be for upgrades, migrations. If they launch around the the same time as Vista… wow… watch out, there will be a ton of business.

Maybe I’m alone in this but I want to see Office 12 before I sit and waste hours of research. I’m just an integrator not a developer.

When will they have a full eval copy available?
