Microsoft has been working for years to transition their popular Office suite of productivity tools to the cloud and Office 365 is the latest and most mature realization of their vision. Office 365 is a subscription-based, web-delivered version of WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT and other related applications designed to work in a collaborative environment. In this workshop we will review the wide variety of subscription models and what features and benefits would steer you toward the best fit for your organization. Because Office 365 is tightly related to Office 2013 and Microsoft’s cloud-based storage service SkyDrive, we will explore those relationships and help you understand the total Microsoft Office ecosystem. We’ll also discuss moving Outlook e-mail from your servers to the new cloud-based hosted Exchange. This presentation focuses on the web-based versions of popular Office applications and how to take advantage of a new world for Microsoft: multi-user editing and collaborative sharing of documents in the cloud. During this workshop we will discuss some of the key differences between Google Apps and Office 365 since Google is the key competitor in the Cloud-delivered office tool marketplace.
