Office 365 is now Microsoft 365! The company has updated the name to express the benefits
and features available through the subscription more accurately. Thus, we have a new name
with the same prices and values already known to the system.
What exactly is Microsoft 365, and what is included in the service? Well, anyone who uses a PC
is familiar with Office suite programs, such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook.
This software is paid, and there are two ways to acquire them: buying a lifetime license or
paying a monthly/annual subscription that guarantees not only the use of the tools but also a
series of aggregated solutions that can make the day-to-day operations of companies efficient.
Microsoft 365 is precisely that monthly subscription. It’s designed for you to access desktop
and mobile apps, intelligent cloud services, and security over five devices for a personal
license.
The Office package is considered a complete tool for the professional‘s day-to-day tasks, as it
adds numerous features capable of optimizing tasks and activities with extreme practicality,
especially considering the uses of its four main software.
Word, the famous text editor, offering a wide range of resources to improve a company’s
internal and external communication, contributing to the creation of documents and other
textual files with simplicity.
Conversely, Excel is the main program for tabulating data and mathematical calculations, a tool
capable of optimizing the day-to-day in many companies.
PowerPoint, on the other hand, is highly intuitive and, when used efficiently, allows the
presentation of ideas and results visually and pleasantly.
Finally, Outlook presents itself as a fascinating tool for daily organization, concentrating emails, reminders, and a list of professional contacts in one place.

Collaborative work for your team
One of the essential features to ensure your team’s productivity is enabling collaborative work
in real time. This way, the different files can be built and edited collectively.
This is undoubtedly one of the main benefits of Microsoft 365. Everyone has access to all
changes made simultaneously. This is also an excellent feature for managers with remote teams. Here they can follow the change history of each job, identifying the person responsible for each of the actions.
Business email management made easy
Microsoft created Exchange Online to provide a secure and efficient corporate email
messaging service. With the resources of a Microsoft Exchange Server, the service is entirely cloud-based, which allows access to messages, tasks, contacts and calendars via browser or mobile devices.
Most up-to-date and secure software
Contrary to what happens with the purchase of an Office package license, with Microsoft 365,
you always have the latest versions of the programs. In this way, your team will always have
the most modern resources available to work with.
In addition, how we know, information security is one of our biggest concerns. That’s why
Microsoft 365 provides constant security updates throughout the subscription term.
After all, the company prioritizes the security of its users; data, so it makes monthly
improvements to its tools. It’s more protection for you and your customers.
More efficient communication and team management
One of the main aspects that underpin the effectiveness of a team is its ability to communicate
properly. With that in mind, the subscription provides Microsoft Teams, which works as a
platform with online chat features, video conferences, and file storage and integrates several
corporate apps. It is also possible to integrate communication with customers, suppliers, partners, and different companies, facilitating team management and delivering projects more aligned with
expectations.
File sharing platform
Specifically for file sharing, the company also makes Microsoft SharePoint available to users.
This web application platform creates corporate intranets and collaborative portals, facilitating
the management of content and documents.This tool is perfect for increasing organizational efficiency by sharing all kinds of documents and files in a corporate portal that is easy to access and use. This way, all teams are involved and informed.Another applicability of the tool is the possibility of facilitating the management of business processes, and organizing the flow of operational work, even the most complex ones. For example, each project or group can have its own location on the intranet to manage information and tasks. The benefits of Microsoft 365 are numerous, and the service opens a wide range of possibilities for managing, producing and sharing files. Several added services provide a company with more productive teams and more cohesive and efficient processes.
