Office works with Box, Salesforce and Citrix

As one of Microsoft's flagship software products, Office has become an important entry point for Microsoft's open and layout expansion because of its low system binding properties.

Microsoft has fully supported Third-party service consolidation in its IOS version of Office updates after its own Windows 10 touchscreen version of Office is fully connected to Dropbox.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced a partnership with Box, Salesforce and Citrix sharefile to allow direct access to Office documents in the storage services of these companies.

This cooperation is not difficult to reflect Microsoft's determination to build an open platform: Microsoft's former Windows department president, Steven Sinofsky, became not only a a16z partner, but also a Box consultant, and also frequently spit on Twitter for Microsoft products. Salesforce and Citrix have long been Microsoft's competitors in enterprise-class services. Once cooperation, playoff, only "eternal interests".

No, Microsoft also added ICloud support to the new IOS version of Office.

From Microsoft's two-quarter earnings this year (not mistaken, Microsoft's new fiscal year starts in July), the subscription service including Office 365 has grown by more than 30%. As a result, analysts are no longer able to call Microsoft a "traditional software company", getting rid of a deal that pays for CDs. From there, the new pricing and service model, combined with a more open third-party mainstream Internet service integration, is an essential factor in the way Office 365 is getting on track.
