WINDOWS PC AND APPLE MAC COMPUTER PERFORMANCE IN OFFICE PRODUCTIVITY TASKS

Office applications to measure Windows PC and Apple Mac performance in office
productivity tasks. The benchmark workloads are built on relevant, real-world
tasks using Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

This multiplatform benchmark produces standardized, consistent, and relevant
results using applications that office workers use every day.


FEATURES

 * Multi-platform testing and comparison.
 * Compare up to 4 results side-by-side in the app.
 * Export results as Excel, XML or PDF files.
 * Simple to setup and run. Can be used offline.
 * Compatible with Testdriver® automation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RELEVANT RESULTS

Compare PC and Mac performance the easy way using Office Productivity Benchmark
scores. You also get a sub-score for each test and fine-grained workload
metrics. You can compare up to four results side-by-side and export results as
PDF, Excel or XML files.

DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONALS

We created the Procyon office productivity benchmark for enterprise IT managers,
retailers and reviewers who need relevant, standardized tools for assessing the
performance of PCs and Macs for office productivity work.

endpoint in your network from one convenient control console. Benchmark results
are collected from each system automatically and stored in your central
database.

MEASURE REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Office Productivity Benchmark is designed around common tasks and usage
patterns from a typical day at the office. The benchmark performs tasks with
Excel sheets, PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Outlook emails all
opened at the same time. These applications are left running in the background
as the focus moves from one task to another. For example, copying charts from
Excel and adding it to a PowerPoint slide or comparing and moving content
between Word documents.

The benchmark focuses on measuring aspects of performance that directly affect
the user experience, such as providing smooth interactions and processing large
tasks quickly.

The Procyon office productivity benchmark is compatible with Office 2019 (retail
versions), Office 2021 and Microsoft 365 (including trial accounts).

WORD

The Word test features common tasks such as loading and saving, cutting,
copying, pasting and editing content and images, finding and replacing text,
inserting graphs from Excel, and comparing documents.

EXCEL

The Excel test features typical spreadsheet tasks like loading and saving,
auto-calculation, inserting data, copy and paste, sorting, using a pivot table,
exporting to CSV and PDF, and using common formulas.

POWERPOINT

The PowerPoint test loads a document, adds images, copies images and text, adds
and previews animations, merges content from other files, saves the file, and
exports to PDF and video.

OUTLOOK

The Outlook test includes tasks such as creating emails, moving emails,
searching for text within an email, saving attachments, making appointments, and
backing up folders.


FOR ENTERPRISE IT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With many people working either in the office, remotely, or in hybrid working
roles, it's vital for enterprise IT teams to understand and manage system PC
performance for their employees.

IT managers can use Office Productivity Benchmark scores to check performance
before and after installing new OS images, security software or other
applications. Specifying PC and Mac performance with benchmark scores helps
ensure that IT procurement budgets are spent efficiently.


FOR RETAILERS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UL Solutions works with consumer electronics retailers to help people choose the
right device for their needs and budget. Retailers use benchmark scores and
testing data from UL Solutions at the point of sale to help their customers make
informed buying decisions.

Retailers can use scores and performance data from the Procyon office
productivity benchmark to help customers who want to buy a PC or Mac for home
office use.


FOR PUBLIC-SECTOR PROCUREMENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone benefits when public agencies save costs and operate efficiently.
That's why UL Solutions is happy to provide qualifying public-sector
organizations with complimentary benchmark licenses and advice for IT
procurement and tendering processes.

The Procyon office productivity benchmark is ideal for governments and other
public-sector organizations seeking a vendor-neutral solution for specifying PC
or Mac performance in IT tenders.
