VENTURES AFRICA – Leading software provider, Microsoft, has demonstrated its commitment towards the growth of the Nigerian capital market by showcasing the Microsoft Office 365 at a trading platform, X-Gen Expo.
The Expo, which was organised by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), provided an avenue for market shareholders and solution providers to further discuss the functionalities and usage of the X-Gen – a new electronic trading platform that allows stockbrokers and other stakeholders access the market anywhere and at anytime.
And several software providers have leveraged on the podium to showcase new generation business tools that will guarantee efficiency and effectiveness of commercial activities.
One of those tools on display was the Microsoft Office 365, a cloud service which requires no hardware investment.
The tool fuses together Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online in an always-up-to-date service.
It offers email, voicemail, enterprise social networking, instant messaging, Web portals, extranets, video conferencing, and web conferencing at its customers’ fingertips, but at an affordable price.
