What is Office 365?

Microsoft Office dates back nearly three decades, with early versions essentially combining Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Office 365, which has been available since 2011, differs greatly to its forerunner.

Firstly, it combines a suite of online services, including business-class email, cloud file storage and real-time messaging and video, along with the traditional desktop apps.

Secondly, it’s licensed as a monthly or annual subscription with regular updates to a range of apps.

Office 365 was specifically designed for small to medium sized businesses or organisations. It provides a cost effective and secure, collaborative working environment, and includes traditional desktop workstations integrated with mobile devices for a dispersed workforce.
