Microsoft has been criticized many times over the last few years. Some of the criticisms were
related to the absence of concrete innovations from the giant Microsoft with Google and Apple
moving ahead in this area. The difficulties encountered with the introduction of Vista and
Apple’s ads only exacerbated the situation. This said, Microsoft products continue to be the
standard for most SMEs for server and workstation operating systems, and in terms of office tools
(Excel, Word and others). Rather than having the best solution in all categories, Microsoft
provides unequalled integration in its business solutions.

These days, it is difficult to properly manage the huge number of entities and individuals we
interact with. While communication has become simple and easy, sometimes it just seems very
difficult to find contact information for individuals or companies you need to reach. One of the
reasons for this is that all this contact information is scattered all over the place and, without
some form of central organization, we are not sure about the information we have.

The information in documents amassed over the years ensures the growth and longevity of companies.
Filing, saving and archiving are very important concepts that should not be neglected... In fact,
document management is a function in itself, but few companies have a specialist in the field as
part of their team. A good internal filing system must allow all employees to easily find filed or
archived documents. A misfiled document can affect project timing or cause delays.
