Microsoft 365
What is Microsoft 365?
Microsoft's subscription bundle of cloud productivity apps: Outlook email, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and more — available online in a browser and installed on your desktop. You pay per user per month or year and always have the latest version.
Why Microsoft 365 Matters
Most businesses only use a fraction of what they pay for. Proper setup of licenses, security policies, and backups can cut waste and close gaps — especially since Microsoft does not back up your 365 data by default.
