- Process Management. The broad implementation of industry-standard Extensible Markup Language (XML), integrated task panes for research and communication and expanded Smart tag capabilities, help bring relevant and current business data to the user from within Microsoft Office System applications. They also provide a platform for business process solutions to be built on top of the familiar Office interface.- Information Intelligence. XML enables Office 2003 applications to communicate with almost any system. As a result, familiar Office applications now can be enabled to access complex back-end data stores without requiring expensive customization. XML also frees up information from within the millions of documents sitting on desktops and on servers, allowing customers to use that information to make an impact on their organization.- Consuming Information. Advancements such as the redesigned look and feel of the Outlook e-mail and collaboration client, ink support, dynamic worksheet calculations and ClearType make it easier to read, organize, annotate and analyze data.- Information protection and control.

Information goes only where it is intended to go.- Effective teamwork.
