Modern business users want tools that make them more productive and engaged. Office 365 is considered one such tool which is constantly evolving and expanding rapidly, moving towards Microsoft’s vision of the one-stop online-productivity hub. Office 365 is a cloud environment suite which comes with SharePoint online giving a leverage of collaborating and communicating effectively.
Way back SharePoint was launched as an application for document management. Slowly it has transformed into document management and records management alongside web content and portals. SharePoint has evolved over the years into a robust collaboration and content management platform. With just a web browser (Internet explorer, chrome or Firefox), you can use SharePoint as a secure place to store, organize and share information which can be accessed from any device.
Recent development in SharePoint platform is, of course, the move to the cloud as part of Office 365. Offering more flexibility and portability than on-premises instalments, SharePoint Online has seen mass adoption. It seems every business has either moved or is contemplating a move to the cloud, which has led Office 365 to become Microsoft’s fastest-growing commercial product in the company’s history.
