Underlining the relevance of Open XML formats in application development, Indian IT solution providers are increasingly using Open XML as a preferred technology standard. The latest solution providers to join the list include PacSoft Solutions, Skelta Software Inc, Aztecsoft, Processware Systems, AppPoint Software Solutions and Compulink.

According to Sanjay Manchanda, Director, Microsoft Business Division, “Open XML encourages choice, flexibility and interoperability for IT application developers while ensuring they optimise their IT spend, leverage the best-of-breed technology and take advantage of rich work-flow scenarios. The widespread adoption of Open XML formats by companies in India, as well as globally, reiterates the growing popularity of Open XML as a technology standard.”

The latest solutions developed in India are highlighted in the paragraphs below.

Lyceum, developed by PacSoft Solution Limited, is a comprehensive education management tool, which was integrated with Open XML to improve file and data management and enhance interoperability. Aztecsoft chose the Open XML formats since it allows easy conversion to other formats, including other XML formats. Also, Open XML helps reduce document size and therefore minimises storage needs.
