Microsoft Introduces Office 365

Microsoft will release Office 365, which is the cloud version of their usual Microsoft Office. It includes Office Web Apps, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and Lync Online. The program’s price will vary with the size of the business, which depends on what add-ons are included. For businesses with under 25 employees, Office 365 will cost $6 per user per month. If the company size increases, Microsoft offers extras on a subscription for $24 per user per month. Additional features can range from e-mail to Office Professional Plus.

Office 365 is the latest appendage to Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Standard Suite. It is based on the latest cloud-computing technology that Microsoft has been working on developing in recent years. This will include the usual Office programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, but also Internet features such as e-mail, instant messaging, and videoconferencing. It will work on a variety of browsers and mobile devices, including the iPhone and BlackBerry. All of these features will be very useful to businesses regardless of their size.
