Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Office 2016

Microsoft Office is being heavily used by accounting and payroll/hr. It is also used across the whole organization for basic Excel and Word capabilities. And our entire organization uses Outlook as our email program. We have facilities all over the world, and these programs make it easy to communicate with each other.
  • Outlook is a great email program -- easy to use and find emails that are in history.
  • Excel is needed by payroll and accounting for numerous downloads, uploads and interfaces to our HCM software.
  • Word is a great basic word processing tool -- easy to use and share.
  • Some formulas in Excel are difficult to use.
  • Help in Excel is not always clear and concise.
  • Saves time and effort for payroll.
  • Easy way to communicate with other locations.
Some help features are not clear and concise. That does not help you solve a problem with a formula or other issues.

We use excel to download and upload information into our HCM system. It is well suited for this, as it saves lots of data entry and excess work. We have numerous occasions where teammates in a location will have an earning or deduction that needs to be entered into our payroll system for taxability, and uploading an excel spreadsheet is an efficient way to do this.
