Microsoft rose to dominate PC software because of two really important products \u2013 their Windows operating system and their suite of business support tools called Office. The tools in the Office suite are known globally and have often become synonymous with systems they represent \u2013 such as talking about an Excel sheet instead of a spreadsheet.<\/p>\n

But one of the drawbacks of Office in the past was how it required the user to buy and install software, keep it up to date, and the focus was always on the individual user. If you edited a Word document or Excel sheet then you had to save a copy and mail it to your colleagues so they could take a look.<\/p>\n

The world is far more collaborative today. Now known as\u00a0Office 365<\/a>, the entire suite of tools has moved into the cloud and now allows users to pay a subscription. This is a far more attractive proposition for enterprise customers because they can just pay a monthly charge to use the software \u2013 only users that are actually using it will be charged and there is no upfront fee.<\/p>\n

There is also no installation, updates, or maintenance required. The entire system is always going to be the most recent version of the software because you access it on the Microsoft cloud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
