What's New

Devices Cloud Social Simplified IT

 New subscription services.

The new Office is available as a cloud-based subscription service. As a subscriber, you automatically get future up-grades in addition to exciting cloud services including documents cloud storage via SkyDrive, allowing you to access your content across your tablet, PC and phone.

 Stay connected to your contacts.

The new People Card aggregates information for your contacts—including Facebook and LinkedIn—to give you one unified view. You can quickly schedule a meeting, send an email, start an IM or voice and video chat, or host a multiparty HD video conference in a few clicks.

Top Reasons to Buy Office

Anywhere Access Working Together Look Professional Best on Windows End of Support
Work from virtually anywhere with access to your latest documents and files using familiar Office applications, optimized for use across PCs, smartphones, and tablets. Work together, easily using your familiar Office applications with business email, shared calendar, document sharing, and high definition video conferencing. Highly secure business email and external websites present your company's professional image to customers. New features in Excel and PowerPoint allow you to easily analyze your data and hold effective presentations. The new Office works well across on many devices but it delivers a great experience on Windows 8. Office responds to touch as naturally as it does to keyboard and mouse.

 Running Office 2003 and Windows XP after the end-of-support date (April 8, 2014) may expose your company to security, compliance, and compatibility risks due to a lack of ongoing updates.


Introducing the New Office
The new Office provides business-class productivity and collaboration for SMB organizations. Enjoy virtually anywhere access to your familiar Office applications, with business-grade email, calendar, video conferencing, and most up-to-date documents across nearly all your devices—from PCs to smartphones to tablets.

Open Volume Licensing for Office on Premises
The new Office brings your familiar Office applications and documents, business-grade email, calendar, and video conferencing across nearly all your devices—from PCs to smartphones to tablets. You can get the new Office through Office 365 cloud subscription or Office on premises perpetual licenses. This document focuses on the benefits of Office on premises through Open Volume Licensing.

Component Standard Office 2013 Requirements
Computer and processor 1 gigahertz (Ghz) or faster x86- or x64-bit processor with SSE2 instruction set
Memory (RAM) 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32 bit); 2 gigabytes (GB) RAM (64 bit)
Hard Disk 3.0 gigabytes (GB) available
Display Graphics hardware acceleration requires a DirectX10 graphics card and 1024 x 576 resolution
Operating System Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012
Browser Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, or 10; Mozilla Firefox 10.x or a later version; Apple Safari 5; or Google Chrome 17.x.
.NET version 3.5, 4.0, or 4.5
Multi-touch A touch-enabled device is required to use any multi-touch functionality. However, all features and functionality are always available by using a keyboard, mouse, or other standard or accessible input device. Note that new touch features are optimized for use with Windows 8.
Additional requirements and considerations Some functionality may vary, based on the system configuration. Some features may require additional or advanced hardware or server connectivity.

System requirements are rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GB, to be conservative. For example, if we measure an application's required hard disk space to be 1.99 GB, we recommend 2.5 GB of disk space. Our hard disk system requirements are intentionally larger than the actual disk space usage of the software.

A graphics processor helps increase the performance of certain features, such as drawing tables in Excel 2013 or transitions, animations, and video integration in PowerPoint 2013. Use of a graphics processor with Office 2013 requires a Microsoft DirectX 10-compliant graphics processor that has 64 MB of video memory. These processors were widely available in 2007. Most computers that are available today include a graphics processor that meets or exceeds this standard. However, if you or your users do not have a graphics processor, you can still run Office 2013.
