Microsoft: Work management in a sea change

eWeek | at | by Mike

Changes to the work management business will be driven by the move towards standardized applications, transparency and accountability, the changing work force, and the notion of people always being on and connected and suffering from information overload.

So said Mike Angiulo, the general manager for Microsoft Office Project, during his opening keynote at its user conference here Oct. 29.

Underscoring the notion of information overload, Angiulo told the hundreds of attendees that more records will be created over the next five years than have been created in total until now, which was helping drive the trend toward heavily customized environments.
