Microsoft Office 365

A Microsoft 365 plan is a hosted, online version of the traditional installed version of Microsoft Office software, paid for with a monthly or annual office 365 subscriptions.

That means Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Teams, SharePoint—every Microsoft application you need to run a modern business on-site, remotely, or hybrid—plus security and data storage, live in one place.

Minus the hardware headaches, server administration, and all that nonsense.

Yes. The truth is the Microsoft 365 family of products are ingrained in every business operation (and have been for a million years). Now that it’s hosted in the Cloud instead of internal business servers, over 300 million monthly active users use it to:

• Gain productivity because all their favorite apps (Outlook, Word) are readily available from any device, anytime
• Collaborate on documents on-demand through OneDrive/SharePoint where they can edit, share, and otherwise get stuff done together, even if they’re apart
• Quickly communicate or host meetings on Teams, whether through instant message or audio/video call (with screen sharing)

Plus, it lowers operational expenses, makes IT operations easier, and generally keeps everything simple through Microsoft 365 subscriptions. And simple is smart.

Here’s how renewals work:

When recurring billing is turned on for Microsoft 365, you’ll be billed for your subscription on your renewal date. If you turn off recurring billing, your subscription will expire on the date shown and you won’t be billed in the future.

And here are the payment options:

• Monthly commitment payment: pay month by month.
• Annual commitment payment: Sign up for a one-year subscription and receive a discount. By default, your billing plan will be set to monthly billing. After your purchase, you can change your billing plan to annual billing if you prefer.
• Annual commitment payment: Sign up for a one-year subscription and choose to pay monthly or for the entire year at the time you sign up.

We’ll walk you through the ins and outs of Microsoft’s Cloud-based subscription model—every product line, every app—and get you all trained-up so you hit the ground running when you make your move.

Microsoft Office 365 Implementation
People hate change, but it’s the only constant in life. We’re really good at conducting readiness assessments of both your people and your computer network, then building the gameplan that makes the transition from on-premises Microsoft applications to Cloud-based solutions smooth and effective.

Microsoft Office 365 Migration Services
Think of it as how your business best handles taking off the Band-Aid. You can move everything over in one extensive process, planned stages, simultaneously (you don’t turn off your on-premises stuff until the Cloud migration is complete), or through IMAP (moving users from other Cloud-based systems to 365).

Semantics. Microsoft changed the name to be reflective of the features and benefits of the Microsoft 365 subscriptions, and to meet businesses’ needs. The Microsoft 365 plan includes everything in Office 365, plus innovation, intelligent Cloud services, and robust security.

Bottom line: think of it as “Do I want all this stuff in my building, and pay somebody to handle it?” Versus, “Do I want to pay the equivalent of a subscription to Time Magazine and get on with my life.”

Other benefits available, include:

• Automatic feature and security updates as well as bug fixes.
• Universal access from any device, simultaneously.
• Workflow management, data storage, and advanced Cloud security.
• Flexibility, enhanced productivity, improved customer or client experience with your business.
