OVERVIEW OF OFFICE 365
Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud-based service that is designed to help meet your organization’s needs for robust security, reliability, and user productivity. Office 365 delivers the power of cloud productivity to businesses of all sizes, helping save time, money, and free up valued resources. Office 365 combines the familiar Microsoft Office desktop suite with cloud-based versions of Microsoft’s next-generation communications and collaboration services—including Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Office Web Apps, and Microsoft Team to help users be productive from virtually anywhere through the Internet.
Office 365 is a cost-effective way to upgrade your IT systems, while also saving time and money on IT infrastructure and storage management. It's licensed as a subscription service, so there are no up-front capital costs. You can choose annual or monthly billing.
Office 365 offers Microsoft cloud-hosted versions of Exchange, SharePoint, Skype for Business / Microsoft Teams, Power BI, Dynamics 365 for Sales (CRM), and OneDrive for Business. With Office 365, you may also choose a software subscription model for Office on the Desktop (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access). Many Office 365 implementations are complemented by the use of Microsoft Azure Services.
