III. Direction of Future Development

1. Integration with businesses

    Isolated information islands, isolated application islands and isolated resource islands, have long been considered as the three big flaws in the traditional office system. The essence that caused these problems is the lack of a coordinated application platform that is unified, integrated and open. With “integrated platform, coordinated application” as a characteristic, the development of an independent “coordinated application” network platform software is the integrated solution for electronic government affairs. Not only will it bring the electronic government affairs into a whole new level, it is, at the same time, providing a development direction and broad market for the new generation of office software.

2. Integration with industries

    In view of the requirements of a specialized industry, the general office software can no longer satisfy the needs of the users of that domain. Hence, integrating with the industries and releasing office software that satisfy the industry characteristics will no doubt be one of the directions of future development. For instance, the education industry requires a huge amount of educational figures and symbols; and, as a result of its characteristic, the education industry will have a much higher demand on the functionalities such as editing of formula, figures etc, than other domains. Therefore, there is still an extremely board market with regards to similar industries with specialized needs.

    Opportunities and challenges coexist in the future of the office market. To be accepted by the users, companies of office software should look for greater breakthroughs in areas such as technology, product, planning and so on. The NeoShine Office system aims to take on the task of truly satisfying the needs of the users, constantly enhance itself and really become an indispensable helper in the daily office of the users.
