How do I sum up a service that has the power to completely run your business?
I guess I don’t.
Microsoft 365, aka Office 365, is a powerful tool that Microsoft has placed within just about everything Microsoft does. Everything.
AI will tell you, “Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that provides blah, bla, blah, blah, bla.” Not exactly summing it up. Probably because there is too much to sum. So:
1: Microsoft 365 is paid business email service.
Microsoft 365 does email. It integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Outlook to bring you a synchronized experience across all your devices. PC, Android, iPhone, Mac, whatever.
2: Microsoft 365 is Cloud File Storage
OneDrive and SharePoint. These tools help you synchronize your files across all your devices. PC, An… yeah you get it. They also allow you to work together with others on the same files… remotely!
3: Microsoft 365 empowers remote and office teams
Teams is a productivity app that connects teams, whether they are remote or in the office. Teams includes instant message, phone calls, file storage (based on SharePoint), and integrates with many, many more apps.
4: Yup. There is a part that includes Windows
Windows as a Service. For a monthly subscription, you have a Windows virtual machine that you can connect to from anywhere, and have all your files, desktop settings, etc. in one place… anywhere.
5: Microsoft 365 is on the AI wave
CoPilot is Microsofts AI (or Large Language Model). CoPilot can search the web, but it can also be limited to company procedures and existing data for it’s research. Best yet, with the paid version, your data stays within your company.
There is ton’s more inside Microsoft 365. Security, device management, Azure, etc. But for the most part, these are the services most small businesses use, and grow into the rest!
