Abstract

As a consultant delivering Office 365 solutions, I often get asked the question "What is Office 365?" The marketing answer to this question is that Microsoft Office 365 is a collection of cloud-based productivity software products that are licensed through a monthly or annual subscription model. This answer is often received with a glazed look and a follow-up question of "So what exactly is Office 365 and why do I need it?" My usual answer is "What problems are you trying to solve?" While that may sound flippant, the reality is Office 365 can be positioned in many ways depending on the problem it is selected to help solve.
