What is the purpose of the Microsoft Office XP to Microsoft Office 2003 upgrade?
The time is right in terms of security. Older versions of software, including Office XP, are at the end of their lifecycle and, as a result, aren’t getting the attention to security that newer versions do. No one wants to be a victim of identity theft or virus attacks that can lead to compromise or loss of critical documents or records. There are some serious concerns regarding Office XP, and we want to ensure that faculty, staff, and students– and their data– aren’t victims. The goal is to have all campus computers upgraded to Office 2003 by September 2006.
