Microsoft 365, formerly Office 365, is a cloud-based subscription service offered by Microsoft. Combining MS programs with cloud services like OneDrive and Microsoft Teams, this software aims to offer different plans that will allow you to use them virtually anywhere. It’s one of the leading full-featured suites of productivity and collaboration applications that both PC and Mac users can have.
Premium versions of Microsoft’s popular productivity applications can be found in Microsoft 365 with the addition of its 1 TB OneDrive cloud storage for file and photo keeping and Microsoft Teams for the easy team and business management.
When it comes to presentations, text documents, and spreadsheets, users can use the latest versions of the essential Microsoft applications. PowerPoint, Word, and Excel are all typical applications that can complete the job. E-mails, appointments, and other communication-related tasks can be easily managed with Outlook’s calendar and mailing features.
This program also includes Publisher, a software focusing more on creating than text placement. It lets you easily arrange your documents, as the text does not complicate how the tables, pictures, and other inserted elements are positioned. With this suite, text wrapping is not going to be a problem.
With all the activities, tasks, and processes that can be done with this program, it has included access in its list of applications. Access is used to manage information and data that can later be used for reference, conducting analyses, and making important reports. Access is a compelling application when it comes to data processing.
The thing about Microsoft 365 being a subscription service is that all its applications are always up to date. All newly released features and add-ons can be instantly enjoyed by its subscribers, compared to Microsoft’s one-time pay software. With that said, there are two available subscription options for Microsoft 365. Users can either avail of the 1-year subscription as a solo player with Microsoft 365 Personal or share a subscription between 6 people with Microsoft 365 Home.
