Greetings !
Yesterday Microsoft announced a few major changes in their Industry leading Cloud Service Office365 . I will highlight some of those changes which to me appear most exciting .
1) Office365 E1 Enterprise Plan
This Plan was available at USD 8 per user per month and it consisted of :
MS Exchange for Messaging
MS SharePoint for Collaboration and Public website
MS Lync for Communication
What’s new is that without changing the price , Office Web Apps are now bundled in this plan. This means that that if you subscribe to this plan , you can also get the Web edition of MS Office consisting of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote . So you can edit any Office document using any browser . How cool is that ! Great Value and a BIG Thumbs Up from me.
2) Office365 Mid Business Plan
This is a new member of the Office365 family . It is meant for Companies upto 300 users . The plan price is USD 15 per user per month and you get:
MS Exchange for Messaging
MS SharePoint for Collaboration and Public website
MS Lync for Communication
Office Web Apps
MS Office Professional Plus
To understand what you will get in Office Professional Plus, click here .
You can download the copy of MS Office on your PC and use it. Also you can install it on upto 5 devices . Besides, you will always get the latest edition . To know more about MS Office as a Service, click here .
I believe Ofice365 Mid Business has “winner “ written all over it .
I shall come back with other changes in Office365 later.
with warm regards
