Why not just use network installation of Office and store documents on a central file server?
This is not really a comparable option. Even though your files might be stored on a file server, access to them will most likely be limited to within your Intranet. On the contrary, documents created in XIOS will be accessible from any computer in the world. In addition, other Office software does not offer out-of-the-box collaboration features. Using the network installed version, the performance is also negatively affected and the XIOS application will be much more responsive and provide integration and collaboration with so much more than just an office package.
