Microsoft 365 combines the power of Office 365, Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security to deliver an empowering trio for businesses. Intelligently engaging with the user to boost productivity and simplify how they work has always been the focus of Microsoft’s Modern Workplace vision. E5 enables companies to succeed in a mobile-first, cloud-first world.

Around 1.5 billion people worldwide use Microsoft Office, making it one of the most popular suites of software in the world. O365 includes essential productivity tools like Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, but it’s the additional tools around communication and collaboration that really enables Office 365 to transform working processes.

Between them, apps like SharePoint, Yammer, Teams and Skype for Business enable remote and mobile working, seamless collaboration between teams, better knowledge sharing, easier communication, secure data and file storage and more.

Because Office 365 is a subscription-based service, users pay per month for the apps they want and the level of service, with ongoing updates and new features rolled out so that organisations are always using the most current version of any platform, allowing them to keep ahead of the curve.

With the advent and availability of cloud technologies, communication and collaboration can happen anywhere, anytime, with anybody.
