The document makes the case for enterprises adopting Office 365 over on-premise solutions. It notes that on-premise requires frequent hardware and software upgrades which require IT expertise and budget approvals that impact productivity. It also states that employees increasingly use unauthorized cloud software at work. Office 365 offers a unified cloud platform that supports BYOD and provides collaboration tools, file storage, and access across devices while maintaining enterprise security and control.
