2. What is Office 365
Launched in 2001, Office 365 is a cloud-based, subscription model
version of Microsoft’s popular productivity suite Microsoft Office.
Office 365 contains the same core applications as traditional
versions of Office, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook,
OneNote, and depending on the plan purchased, may also include
other apps and services such as Publisher, Planner, OneDrive,
Exchange, SharePoint, Access, Skype, Yammer, and Microsoft
Teams.

3. How is Office
365 different
from previous
versions of
Office?
Office 365 is a subscription-based service, meaning
rather than buying a copy of the suite outright for a one-
time, up-front cost, users instead pay a monthly
subscription fee to access the service at a level of their
choosing.
With Office 365’s subscription-based model, users
always have access to the latest version, as the
platform is updated at Microsoft’s end, whereas as
perpetual, on-premise users would have to buy a new
copy of the latest edition to be able to use new features.
Office 365 is also built as a cloud-first application;
although desktop versions of its apps are available with
certain plans, it’s designed to be used online. All
applications, services, and data generated by Office
365 are hosted on Microsoft’s servers.

4. Who uses Office
365 for Business
and why?
• Though its eminent core apps still
equip businesses with the basic
tools they need to perform
everyday tasks like managing
data, create documents, and
communicate information, Office
has evolved into a vast suite of
intelligent tools that allow
organizations to be more
productive and efficient. And with
many tailored plan options
available, companies of all sizes
and circumstances can get access
to these tools instantly.
