Vox Telecom<\/a> has announced that they are offering small and home-based businesses the option to rent Microsoft<\/a> Office applications – such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook – by the month.<\/p>\n

\u201cVox Telecom and Global Micro have developed Office on Demand. It combines the best features of software as a service with the convenience of having the software locally installed,\u201d says Jonathan Young<\/a>, Microsoft Product Manager for Vox Telecom.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffice on Demand is a software wrapper into which companies can place the applications of their choice \u2013 not only Microsoft Office, but 3rd party products, such as Pastel<\/a>, as well. For a total of R139 a month, for example, they get Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher and OneNote, as well as the wrapper.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wrapper creates a layer of password protection around the application, explains Young. \u201cIf you want the application, you pay your monthly fee and you get access. If you no longer want it, simply cancel the fee payment and your access gets turned off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Office on Demand includes a 1GB \u201cvirtual filing cabinet\u201d so that important data can be easily stored in the cloud. \u201cAll your data is encrypted and secure – you and your associates can access it from anywhere in the world, [it’s] a truly secure solution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
