Q1:Your company has just switched to using a cloud-based computing platform (Office 365) for some of their word processing. This new system is similar to their previous word processor (Microsoft Word 2016) but some of the buttons are in different places and some of the functions are different. Before the change, each document your company produced took about 3 hours to produce. Is the first document to be produced using this new system likely to take more or less than 3 hours to produce? Why?
Q2:One of the reasons for making the change described in question 1 was the hope that the new collaboration features would allow for quicker document creation as multiple people can work on the document at the same time. The Boston office reported that the progress ratio on document creation on the old system was 93% and on the new system it is 85%.
