In deeply distressing news to me, Microsoft Office Picture Manager has been removed from the Office 2013 suite. Thus, organizations who use Microsoft Office need to determine whether purchasing licenses for Office 2013 desktop applications or leveraging a cloud-based Office 365 subscription platform makes the most sense for them. As you probably know, Office 365 is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution that enables individuals and organizations to use the following Office 2013 suite applications by using nothing more than a compatible Web browser:Įditing a document in Office 365 Word Web App The Office 2013 release runs concurrently with integration/upsell possibilities with Office 365.
