...between client and consultant that I haven't had all day. Even though some important issues are being discussed, the atmosphere is very informal and relaxed; the client contact seems to trust Mike and Wang to be on his team.

Since it controls 75% of the market, you probably use one or more of its applications: Word (for word processing), Outlook (for e-mail), Excel (for spreadsheets), Access (for databases) and Powerpoint (to make tedious, overhead-style slides for interminable meetings).
