What is Microsoft Office 365?
• Office 365 is Microsoft’s smart and simple answer to cloud
computing.
• Using the various programs in Office 365, you can do all
the tasks you’re used to doing in your favorite Office
applications—write documents, create presentations,
check email, manage your calendar, crunch numbers, and
more—and then share what you create in real time on a
team site, design and publish a website, and even create
and host live online meetings while you’re traveling on the
train, sitting in a coffee shop, or dialing in on your phone.
