Excel Migration White Paper
Situation: The Microsoft Office Client Group wanted to develop a migration guide for IT professionals in companies that are migrating to Office Excel 2007, specifically companies with a continuing presence of Office Excel 97-2003. The group wanted to inform these professionals of new features in Office Excel 2007 and of discontinued features in Office Excel 97-2003. The group also wanted to offer solutions for compatibility issues that might arise when Office Excel 2007 users open workbooks created in older versions of Excel, and vice-versa.
Solution: Projectline writing and editing professionals transformed 60 pages of informal technical documentation into a formal and easily accessible 20-page document. This document speaks with a consistent voice, is free of technical jargon, and fully complies with Microsoft branding, globalization, and legal requirements.
Benefits: The Microsoft Office Client Group now has a brief guide that it can share with IT professionals to help smooth the adoption of Office Excel 2007. With this guide, organizations can learn ahead of time what to expect when working in a multiple version environment; they can help their employees remain productive during migration, and make the most of new capabilities available in Office Excel 2007.
Results:
- Easy-to-read reference guide
- Professional document that meets brand and legal guidelines and is ready for global distribution
