Cloud computing is here and it is changing productivity in the workplace. Microsoft recently released Office 365, a service that takes its MS-Office, communications, and collaboration products to the cloud. If you are feeling more lost in a fog than feeling the cloud power, you are not alone. The following is a simple explanation that will help. 

What's motivating companies to move to Office 365?

To understand why you may want to go with Office 365, a cloud service, is to look at its driving forces in the workplace. Two trends shaping this change in productivity tools is the desire for companies to reduce or contain infrastructure costs and secondly, the fact that the mobile workforce is growing at a rapid pace. It is estimated that "by 2012, 20% Of Businesses Will Own No IT Assets." (Gartner, Jan. 2010). Hosting a company's business applications allows it to reduce the need to buy capital and then deal with depreciation. It enables a company to move productivity costs into its operation expenses. Office 365, like other cloud services is a subscription fee product so businesses are able to easily see how growth will affect their costs. 

What exactly is Microsoft Office 365? 

Microsoft Office 365 is a set of web-enabled tools that combine Microsoft Office productivity with the latest Microsoft communication and collaboration technology. A month-to-month subscription of Office 365 can help you get where you want to go with your business:
