Microsoft is making a significant push to leverage its partner community to promote customer upgrades and new sales of its Office productivity suite, a company executive said Friday at Microsofts Worldwide Partner Conference 2005 in Minneapolis.
Chris Capossela, corporate vice president of Microsofts Information Worker Product Management Group, acknowledged that many customers are not upgrading their Office suite because they believe the older versions they currently run are sufficient to compete in the current business environment.
