Microsoft Office
The Office apps you know and love are now included in Microsoft 365 and available as applications installed on your computer, tablet, smartphone or the web.
Microsoft Office probably needs very little explanation as for an overwhelming number of us, it’s been used at school, home and business for almost as long as we have used computers.
What is changing though is how quickly new features arrive, how integrated it is with other Microsoft products and how we purchase them. Historically, Office was acquired via a one-time purchase and that licence was perpetual, meaning that you could continue using that version of Office for as long as you chose to or for as long as it was compatible with other applications you used.
Whilst a one-time purchase is still possible, this is no longer likely to be the most appropriate purchase route for many organisations.
With the adoption of the Microsoft Modern Workplace bringing about a mix of desktop and cloud working and the fast pace of feature updates and integrations, many organisations access Microsoft Office as part of a monthly subscription which is likely to include access to other essential products in the Microsoft Ecosystem such as Exchange for email, SharePoint for company data storage and Teams for collaboration and communication.
