🤷♂️ What is Microsoft 365 – Explanation
Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based suite of cloud services. Formerly known as Office 365, it now includes so much more than just the core functionality of Office that a rebranding seems appropriate.
The entire computing world is rapidly moving towards SaaS (software as a service) and subscription models for software instead of selling licenses outright. Microsoft 365 is a mix of both developments. If you haven’t encountered it before, it can be quite a computer culture shock. So let’s clear up any doubts and explain exactly what Microsoft 365 is.
The “cloud” refers to computers that run in data centers around the world. If you use a service like Gmail or Drive, you’re using the cloud. We access cloud-based services over the internet. So, for example, if you copy a file to your DropBox folder, that information is sent to a computer in a data center, which then stores it for you.
