(Newswire) Companies are being urged to exercise caution in planning for Microsoft’s new 2007 Office system according to a new report from Basex, a knowledge economy research firm.

The report, “Microsoft’s 2007 Office System: Should My Organization Upgrade?” is the first in-depth look at the new 2007 Microsoft Office system, which consists of new and redesigned applications and servers for word processing, spreadsheets, instant messaging, e-mail, mobile work, meetings, content management, online conferencing, and collaborative workspaces.

Basex’s analysts believe that there are good reasons not to rush into an upgrade. Depending on the organization, the minuses may outweigh the pluses.

“Microsoft has released dozens of new and redesigned applications and servers as part of its new 2007 Office system,” said Jonathan Spira, CEO and chief analyst, Basex and a co-author of the report. “Our research tells managers what’s really new and which of these tools is right for their organizations so that they can plan appropriately.”
