Microsoft Office 365 for Professionals and Small Business

Microsoft Office 365 for
Professionals and Small Businesses

Microsoft® Office 365 for small businesses is a set of web-enabled tools that let you access your email, documents, contacts, and calendars from virtually anywhere, on almost any device. Designed for organizations with 1–25 employees, the service brings together online versions of the best communications and collaboration tools from Microsoft, including Microsoft Office Web Apps, at a price that small businesses can afford. Office 365 was designed to be easy enough for small businesses to run without specialized IT knowledge.

Why Office 365?

Easy to Use

Office 365 is easy to try, simple to learn, and straightforward to use. It works seamlessly with the programs small businesses know and use most, including Microsoft Outlook®, Word, Excel®, and PowerPoint®.

Improved Collaboration

With Office 365, your small business can create a password-protected portal to share large, hard-to-email files both inside and outside of the organization, giving people a single location to find the latest versions of files or documents, no matter how many colleagues are working on them.  

Security and Reliability

Powerful security features from Microsoft can help protect your data, and Office 365 will come with a 99.9-percent uptime, financially backed guarantee when commercially released. Office 365 helps to safeguard data with enterprise-grade reliability, disaster recovery capabilities, data centers in multiple locations, and a strict privacy policy. It also helps to protect your email environment with up-to-date antivirus and anti-spam solutions.
