This is no longer an issue with Office 365, he noted. For instance, companies with a three-month password refresh cycle were instead constrained by the time limit of one to two months imposed by Microsoft.
For example, he said Microsoft executives admitted that the inflexible provisioning of user password and refresh cycle had been a bane to IT administrators. In terms of functionality, Cheng lauded Office 365 as an improvement to its predecessor BPOS (Business Productivity Online Suite). Comparatively, Office 365 offers a "seamless integration" from the standpoints of both user experience and technology, he said. He pointed out that there is also a "learning curve" that needs to be overcome by the employees while the IT department will have to manage "another island of applications". Tools such as Docs and Chat, he explained, are not as "advanced" and enterprise-friendly as Microsoft's Office and Lync communication offerings.

Quizzed why the car distributor chose Office 365 over alternatives such as Google Apps, Cheng said that the company had given Google's productivity tool a month's trial but found it to be a "consumer-grade product". The executive was speaking to ZDNet Asia on the sidelines of a media briefing held in conjunction with the Office 365 launch in Singapore today. Additionally, the cloud offering is a bonus as a regular complaint of Kah Motor staff had been the lack of on-the-go access for the on-premise Office suite, he added.
