Through the Cloud, Microsoft Want to Eliminate Piracy

Market control was not always reflect the amount of income that is commensurate with market share figures. This was revealed by Microsoft Indonesia president director Andreas Diantoro the launch of Microsoft Office 365 in Jakarta, Tuesday (12/02/2012).
"The market share of Microsoft Office productivity software to reach 97 percent in the whole world, in Indonesia were not far from that figure. However, of that number, perhaps only 10 percent of the pay," said Andreas, citing IDC data as of November 2012. He was referring to the high piracy that afflicts popular applications from Microsoft's.
The price factor is suspected as one of the main causes. Andrew said, the price range of USD 2 million is pegged for the package Microsoft Office overvalued by some parties.

"Now, we provide an alternative form of Office 365 is not only affordable, but also comes with a variety of bonuses like free phones through Skype and SkyDrive storage space," said Andreas.
Office 365 is a suite of cloud-based productivity suite that can be used with a subscription. For the Home Premium version is intended for general consumer, the fee is Rp 729,999 per year.
License application is valid for five sets of various types, including desktop PCs, notebooks, tablets, and smartphones based on Windows or Mac OS.
"With Office 365 package, hopefully later on not just the 10 percent of users are paid (license), but more than that," said Andreas.
Added to him, Office 365 is not a replacement for Office series "traditional" series which has now reached 2013, but as a complement or alternative to those in need.
"For users who only need one license and use one device at a time, can select the Office 2013 license valid for ever. To have many devices, can use Office 365 with a subscription."
Office 365 can be purchased through Microsoft's online site with a credit card. This software is also sold in retail stores Microsoft partners to accommodate users who prefer to shop offline or do not have a credit card. Andrew hopes to provide Office 365 in 500 stores in Indonesia within the next 3 months.
Problem adoption of cloud-based Office 365, Andreas was optimistic. Computer users Indonesia, according to him, are familiar with cloud computing-based services.
"Many have been used. Mostly not realize, but this time using the cloud, Mass in social networking," he concluded.
