The document discusses Microsoft App-V and how it can be used to deploy Microsoft Office in enterprise environments. App-V allows Office to be deployed as a virtual application which provides benefits over traditional installation methods like greater control over updates and customizations. It also compares App-V deployment of Office to other options like Software as a Service and packaged software.
