Office 365

Microsoft 365 Business

Microsoft 365, formerly Office 365, has evolved into the ultimate subscription-based productivity cloud platform for small to mid-sized businesses. All the Office apps everyone knows and loves are there – Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel. But now it also includes helpful new tools that are already becoming just as popular and widely used. Microsoft Teams, for example.
