Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that grants users the basic productivity applications needed to get the job done in a modern enterprise.

Productivity applications cover but are not limited to a word processor, spreadsheet, email client, calendar, and presentation application. In fact, because of the Microsoft 365 cloud-based structure, the productivity suite is constantly being updated and improved.

For almost any company of any size, the productivity of its workforce revolves around the essential office suite of calendars, calendars, word processors, and spreadsheets.

But as the enterprise workforce becomes more mobile, the core set of productivity tools had to adapt and change to meet new demands. It is why Microsoft has updated Office 365 to be a mobile collaboration platform ready to get the job finished.

Since April 21, 2020, Microsoft has officially renamed its Office 365 productivity package to Microsoft 365. From that date, billing, marketing, and alerts will reflect Microsoft 365 branding.

The new naming convention will not affect current levels at subscription prices for existing customers, nor will it change the status of the existing service. The applications included in the different versions of the productivity package will also remain the same.

Microsoft 365 is a de facto productivity package for many companies, and it is a package that measures all other competitors. So, as an IT leader, it is in your best interest to know everything about Microsoft 365.
