Description

Office 365 is now Microsoft 365! Get the latest Office applications in addition to the most advanced enterprise-grade communication capabilities and compliance features. Microsoft 365 is a subscription service that provides you with the latest version of the Office desktop applications—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.—and many other productivity services such as Microsoft Teams for collaboration and conferencing, Exchange Online hosted email for business, and online storage with OneDrive.
