Login to Office. Entrance to the corporate system Portal Office 365 Entrance to the account

On April 20, 2011 in Moscow, at a press conference held in a restaurant with the symbolic name "Clouds", it was announced that the new decision was Microsoft Office 365, it will be available to Russian customers until the end of the 2011 calendar year.

The first thing I want to say is: Office 365 is not a new version of the well-known Microsoft Office application package. It is online ("cloudy") service paid by users by subscription fees, and combining the functionality of Microsoft Office client applications, as well as server products such as Exchange Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2010, Lync Server 2010.

For the American market, the subscription fee will be in the range from $ 6 to $ 27 per user per month, depending on the selected service plan, which is obviously very democratic. Service plans differ in the number of opportunities available to the user.

Functionality

Currently, Office 365 is in the stage of public beta testing, which, unfortunately, is still not available in Russia. Therefore, we will judge the functionality on affordable English-speaking marketing materials, as well as based on the knowledge of on-premise (intended for deploying on our own infrastructure) versions of the corresponding products.

So, what does the company employee who subscribed to the Office 365 service?

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010

Depending on the selected tariff plan, the subscription cost may include a license (right to use) well-known to many users of Microsoft Office package in a revision, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, Access, InfoPath, SharePoint Workspace and Lync. Distribution for installation of about 640mb is downloaded from the self-service portal of the service.

For a moderate subscription fee, the company is able to legally use Microsoft Office, and the latest version and maximum edition. And this is flexible: if the staff is needed to expand the staff, the number of subscriptions increases, reducing the state - respectively decreases. It should be noted that the currently existing standard Microsoft corporate licensing policy does not provide similar opportunities to flexibly handle the acquired licenses. For example, an enterprise does not have the ability to "pass" (sell) a very expensive license to another legal entity. And in the context of Russian realities, such a need could arise quite often, for example, in connection with the transfer of any business functions between the holding units representing individual legal entities, and the corresponding movement of the units of the standard schedule.

In relation to the Office 365 cloud service, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 is a set of client applications. The code of these applications is executed on the local PC, and therefore, with respect to the Office 365 service, they can be called "fat" customers, or desktop clients.

About familiar to most users, the functionality of applications included in the package is said and written enough, I do not see sense to repeat; Next we will dwell only on the functionality that is related to the operation of applications as the Office 365 service clients.

Microsoft Exchange Server (Exchange Online)

Due to the availability of Exchange Online's Office 365, users have the ability to work with corporate class e-mail, with "built-in" protection against spam and viruses. Exchange Online is a cloud version of the Microsoft Exchange Server product that has long existed in the product market, the functionality of which is not limited to e-mail only: users get the opportunity to centrally storing their contact information (the company's address book will be formed automatically), can manage their schedule through calendars and tasks .

The desktop client for Exchange Online is Microsoft Outlook.

Exchange Online also has an online (thin) client - Outlook Web App, available from the browser and, accordingly, which does not require installation on a PC. The Outlook Web App user interface is as close as possible to the Outlook desktop version, almost all functionality is available, including clicks with the right mouse button.

Microsoft SharePoint Server (SharePoint Online)

SharePoint Online - Cloud version of the Microsoft SharePoint Server Server Product, designed to organize collaboration of employees of the enterprise, centralized intellectual storage of documents, supporting their simultaneous editing, project management and many other functions.

Let us dwell on the functionality of this Office 365 service component, as, in our opinion, the least familiar to potential users of the service from the small and personal business sectors.

For storing documents on SharePoint sites, the so-called libraries are served. The document to the library can be placed in several ways: from a special Word 2010 desktop menu, uploaded from a hard disk by clicking on the "Add Document" site or rewriting a file in Windows Explorer, since any SharePoint Library can be opened in Windows Explorer as a network folder.

Office 365 service SharePoint Documents Library, open in browser

What is the advantage of storing documents in SharePoint libraries in relation to a widespread file storage model in network folders? Firstly, this is the elimination of conflict from the point of view of the content of situations when one document is edited by two users independently of each other. If the document is "extracted" by the user from the SharePoint library to edit, other users will not be able to change it at this time. Always seen who exactly the document is removed.

Secondly, this is support for verition. The SharePoint Library can be configured in such a way as to store all versions of documents from the moment of their creation. And any intermediate version can be discovered, find out who is the author of the change and when they were made. You can even compare two versions of the document.

Thirdly, it is support for the possibility of simultaneous editing documents. In particular, for example, it is possible to simultaneously edit one Word document with two or more users. The paragraph over which one user works is fixed behind it and other changes can not make changes to it. (Blocking in Excel is carried out at the cell level.) During such editing, users can support each other by exchanging instant messaging, voice or video due to the availability of the Office 365 service of the Lync Online component (see below).

Fourth is the possibility of organizing full-text search on the content of documents. Entering the SitePoint Online Part of the word in the search window, all documents will be present in the search results, in the content of which such a combination of letters. This allows you to effectively manage the information accumulated in the company in the Microsoft Office documents. Each new document will complement the company's knowledge base.

The SharePoint Online also includes a set of Office Web Apps applications - these are thin clients to work with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote files. Thin clients are performed in the browser, respectively, do not require installation on a PC, and implement the functions of their desktop analogues most demanded by users. As browsers for Office Web Apps, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Chrome are supported (for detailed technical requirements, see below).

Using Office Web Apps, you can view Office documents and edit them directly in the browser. It should be noted that Office Web Apps copes well with rather complex formatting, and only extraordinary tricks will be displayed approximately. To open a file in Office Web Apps, just click on the link to the appropriate file in the library.

Microsoft Word document is open to view in the Thin Word Web App client. Pretty complex formatting is displayed correctly.

Using Office 365, you can stop sending files as attachments to email letters, and send only links to documents located in the SharePoint library. Thus, a reduction in the amount of information sent by e-mail is achieved, one current version of the document is maintained, stored centrally, and there is no need to worry about whether the recipient has the latest version of the necessary Microsoft Office application - Office Web Apps will help to open a document in any browser. .

Also possible and offline editing files. Microsoft SharePoint Workspace, which is included in Microsoft Office Professional Plus, is transparent to the user manages a local copy of library documents, synchronizing the modified documents when an Internet connection appears, and, accordingly, to the Office 365 service.

SharePoint Workplace.

You can unload the Microsoft Access database to the SharePoint site of the Office 365 service, which allows you to have a single actual copy of a small database, sufficient, for example, to maintain a small enterprise to keep a small enterprise.

Published on SharePoint Online Microsoft Access Database

SitePoint Online Site Libraries Office 365 service can be configured to support warning mechanisms and business processes.

In particular, with the help of alert mechanism, the signatory users can e-mail to receive letters when adding or changing documents in the library you are interested in, which allows you to stay up to date with the changes in documents on which the active joint work is currently being conducted or vice versa rarely variable, but Of the company's activities are important - various provisions and regulations. At the same time, an employee who made changes or published a new document is exempt from the obligation to notify interested persons - SharePoint Online will make this work for it.

The mechanism of business processes allows you to automate the model processes of passing documents within the enterprise. For example, in the editorial office of a computer edition after the preparation of materials, the author should approve the editor, and then setting the material to the publication queue. In this case, the business process has obvious steps that can be configured in the SharePoint Online Office 365 service. After the document is placed in the library, the business process will automatically start, and the editor will receive an email notification of the new material in need of its consideration. After watching the material in Word or Word Web App, the editor can either approve the document or reject it with the comment. Author in any case will receive the appropriate an email alert. After the material is approved by the editor, the alert will receive a responsible for further actions an employee and so on until the end of the business process. On the site is always available information on what stage is one or another started business process, which allows you to keep the situation under control.

Business Process Mechanisms in Office 365 can be tuned enough flexible. The system already has a number of pre-configured business processes, and the approval of documents is one of them. If you need to change the business process or build your own, multiple tools are available: a simple setting can be performed directly to SharePoint Online, more complex operations - in Specialized Scherepoint Designer (distributed free of charge) and Microsoft Visio.

SharePoint Online features project management functions. For example, a list containing the listing of tasks running the participants of the project workgroup can be created. This list can be visually displayed in the form of a Ganta chart. When assigning the task, a corresponding notification will be sent to a responsible person by email. Also, the notification will be sent to all subsidized in any change this task: deadlines, content, condition; Due to what the project team is always up to date with the project.

The SharePoint Online website can be posted a project workgroup calendar, including meetings, access to which can be obtained from Outlook desktop client (see 3) and from the thin Outlook Web Access client. Meeting themselves can be carried out online by integrating with Lync Online.

Microsoft Lync Server (Lync Online)

This Office 365 service component is responsible for communications between users. Actually, Lync Online is a cloud implementation of the Unified Communication Server Microsoft Lync Server 2010. Like any product that claims to implement the concept of unified communications, Lync considers the personal computer of the user as the main subscriber communications terminal.

The Lync Client client application implements a contactor-oriented user interface in which indicators of the presence of other users are immediately visible, and from which, using the same simple techniques, you can start the instant messaging session, voice call, video or web conference. In the process of communication, you can add participants, change the analog device - for example, switch the call to the Bluetooth headset.

Microsoft Lync Client Interface

Lync is fully integrated with other components of Office 365, due to which the next scenario can be implemented. In Outlook, identifying potential web conference participants, literally in one click you can start its planning. Outlook will receive from Exchange Online information about the availability of potential participants and the current version of their workers calendars, so that the initiator of the conference can offer time not at random, but taking into account the employment of colleagues, which significantly increases the chances of getting at a convenient time for all the first time. All potential e-mail participants will be sent a letter containing an invitation and a reference to the scheduled conference. Take an invitation, as well as start or join the conference, you can also directly from Outlook in one click.

Web Conference Planning in Outlook

Conference in Lync. Instant messaging session, video link with a display of an active participant, showing the slides of Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with the possibility of navigation for participants - all in a single interface

To participate in the web conference, you can invite participants who are not employees of the company. Such participants will be able to join, for example, using the SILVERLIGHT version of the client, that is, to participate in the Lync web conference, you do not need to install any additional software on your PC, and, accordingly, you do not need to have the rights of the local administrator. This scenario can be widespread when invited to participate in webinars of customers and partners of the company.

Lync is also integrated with SharePoint, due to which, for example, during the collaborative Word document, you can start an exchange of instant messaging with other active users directly from the Microsoft Word desktop interface, after which, if necessary, proceed to communicate voice or video.

On May 10, 2011, the purchase of Microsoft Skype was announced. At a press conference dedicated to the event, Microsoft's plans for the integration of Skype technologies with existing products were announced: Lync, Messenger, Xbox. It is logical to assume that when these plans are implemented, direct communication with the multimillion class of Skype users will be available to users of Office 365.

Public Website Enterprise

Using Office 365, the company can create a public website available to users from the Internet on their own domain name of the company.

You can choose the site theme and design style from the relevant extensive libraries.

Integration with mobile devices

To work with the Office 365 service, you can use almost all common models of smartphones that support the Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Including smartphones iPhone, BlackBerry, as well as smartphones with Android and Symbian operating systems (the latter - with the Nokia Mail for Exchange client).

Exchange ActiveSync Protocol Support provides smartphone users with email, calendar and list of contacts stored in Office 365 infrastructure. Email synchronization is possible in the so-called push mode, in which the applicants will "push" from the Exchange Online server on a mobile phone Immediately upon receipt of them, which, on the one hand, allows you to work with mail as quickly as possible, and, on the other hand, leads to a reduction in traffic and an increase in the time of the smartphone from the battery.

With the help of browsers implemented in smartphones, you can work with SharePoint Online sites. SharePoint is able to generate special, mobile presentations of the appropriate web pages, with which it is convenient to work on small screens of smartphones.

However, especially smooth and complete integration with the Office 365 service is, of course, implemented in Windows Phone. In particular, in the Windows Phone interface, the so-called Office Hub is implemented by which the user has centralized access to Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile, as well as documents. Mobile versions of office applications are perfectly coping with documents of the appropriate formats, allow them to edit them. Integration with SharePoint Online allows you to see links to sites and individual libraries in the Windows Phone interface, open and save documents directly to SharePoint Online.

Microsoft announced the Lync Moblie mobile client output for Windows Phone and iPhone over the current 2011. In particular, on May 16, 2011, as part of the TECHED conference, an update for Windows Phone with the "Mango" code name was announced, which will be implemented even deeper integration with Office 365, Windows Live Skydrive, as well as the Lync Mobile mobile client.

Functionality results

Despite the fact that we considered the components included in Office 365, separately from each other, the entire service looks monolithically. This is achieved by the close integration of server components, desktop, subtle customers, as well as the unity of the approach to building user interfaces.

Office 365 can be attributed to the UCC class platforms / solutions (Unified Communications and Collaboration), that is, products providing unified communications and collaboration of employees of the company.

Advantages for business users

So, we can say that Office 365 is a proposal to take advantage of the almost full range of software included in the Microsoft business productivity group according to the SaaS model (Software-AS-A-service).

According to the participants of the press conference, held on April 20 in Moscow, which was announced about the intention to launch Office 365 in Russia until the end of 2011, the new service can be interesting and large companies, and companies in the segments of personal, small and medium businesses.

In particular, according to Pavel Kuzmenko, the head of the department for promoting information office systems Microsoft in Russia, value for large companies may be to, get all the benefits of using modern information technologies, optimize investment and replace capital costs for operating (CAPEX OPEX ). However, according to Andrei Fallow, Vice-President for the Development of Corporate Business of VimpelCom, large companies that will decide to move to the use of Office 365 will do this for a long time through various hybrid models.

The participants in the press conference expressed the opinion that the special interest of Office 365 presents for small companies, and there are several reasons for this.

The first is the possibility of gaining access to the most modern tools of business productivity for a small subscription fee. Earlier, for small companies, the costs of infrastructure and licensing of the appropriate software on the classical model were barren, and the enterprise was devoid of opportunity to effectively apply modern IT. That is, Office 365 is one jerk, which allows, for example, startup to get up in a technological plan for the same level that is achieved by market leaders.

The second is the ability to flexibly control the number of licenses (service subscriptions). If necessary, the number of subscriptions can be increasing or reduced operational, depending on the need.

The third is the ability to use the Enterprise-level functionality of the corresponding products, such as high availability, for which it was previously required to deploy a very complex network and server infrastructure, staff training and very high licensing costs.

The fourth is the lack of the need for special knowledge. Deploying, Administering Service Platform, update version software is made by a service provider, a small company can focus on its main activity, on its competence.

Fifth - the presence of several service plans differing in the subscription fee. A small enterprise can sign users to the optimal service plan, corresponding to their needs to use components included in Office 365.

Sales

In accordance with the model adopted by Microsoft to promote new services in the world, in Russia, access to Office 365 will provide syndicated partners of Microsoft - VimpelCom OJSC and SCB "Contour". Their customers will be able to get a new solution in the composition of various combined packages calculated in accordance with the needs of companies of different scale and profile.

In particular, Nikolai Pants, President Microsoft Russia, said:

"... The most important thing is that today we declare that we will implement this product to market, we will with our partners. This corresponds ... Microsoft models worldwide, but at the same time I will say that the number of partners is very limited, there will be only a few such partners around the world, and I am pleased to note today that we have chosen, and we have chosen, the best companies in the market. From the point of view of an active position, preparedness for implementation, including a rather complicated technical solution, synergy, I would really call these companies with leading in Russia. "VimpelCom" as a leading telecommunications company; SCB contour, as a leading company in Russia, can be said, the pride of Russia, the developer of web services, cloud technologies - wonderful companies. I am sure that both we, and partners get very good advantages: we will get the opportunity to promote our products to the market, partners will receive an additional very big advantage in the struggle for the client, in hold, loyalty, increasing yield. Today in Telecom, and in the Internet business - it is very important to keep the client. The client may even come to you, but then the switching is worth nothing: you can actually move from one operator to another. But if you have a package (services) ... when you are in the complex offer small and medium-sized businesses an integrated approach, such as telephony, software, services, and everything integrated into one package with single discounts, of course, the client will not leave anywhere . And the client will be profitable, and the partner, of course, will be profitable. Therefore, today I am very pleased with our partnership and I want to thank Andrei and Dmitry for our partnership and wish us good luck in this launch. I am sure that the prospects are very good here. "

"Microsoft's other partners may remain selling agents," explained Nikolai Pants, responding to the question of the audience, our integrated decision. They can be partners like VimpelCom and SCB contour, and Microsoft partners, but for sale. In this case, they will not have the ability to make packages of services integrated, but will be able to sell the product. "

At a press conference, not all information regarding sales of Office 365 in Russia was announced, but only its part, since work on the draft withdrawal of a new product on the market is still continuing. In particular, prices have not yet been announced.

However, it can be said that VimpelCom plans to pack offices of Office 365 with proposals for fixed and mobile services, and SCB "Contour" - with proposals for access to already available online services "Contour-Extern" (passing the tax reporting through Internet) and others.

In particular, Andrei Patok, Vice-President for the Development of Corporate Business of VimpelCom, said: "Working with an infocommunication provider is very attractive for the customer, since one provider is responsible not only for the quality of the product, but, among other things, Access to the product. Without communication solutions, the work of this idea is simply impossible. "

Dmitry Marramov, General Director of SCB "Contour": "We assume that Office 365 will be included in batch suggestions with our products, first of all, of course, contour-exunun is a system for reporting. Diagox system ... We believe that in combination with Office 365 there are good prospects ... and completely wonderful (Office 365) falls on the ELBA electronic accountant, for the provision of services for the microbusiness, for small businesses ... ".

SKB "Contour" expects to attract a large number of new customers. In particular, the appearance of a proposal for Office 365 will allow the company to contact within the customer companies not only to the divisions engaged in accounting, but also to the main business structures.

So, while prices in Russia have not yet been announced, let's try to look at the prices announced within the global announcement.

For Office 365, five service plans are announced: P (it is P1) - Personal, for professionals and small businesses, and E1, E2, E3, E4 - corporate, for enterprises. (Some materials also refer to the plans of the K1 and K2FL enterprises, but there is no information on them even at the profile site www.office365.com).

Plan P (P1) - $ 6 / for the user / per month, includes:

• email corporate class, calendars and personal archive;
• 25 GB for posting mailbox and mobile mail;
• sharePoint command sites;
• Office Web Apps;
• simple public website;
• ability to publish Access databases;
• lync conferences and the ability to demonstrate the desktop to the remote subscriber (Desktop Sharing);
• multipoint exchange of instant messages and PC calls - PCs;
• community support.

Plans E, respectively include:

It is important to note that the possibility of using the desktop Microsoft Office appears only in terms of E3 ($ 24 / for the user / per month), and now Microsoft offers for beta testing.

In general, judging by the structure and completeness of the presentation of information on the official website, it seems that by the end of beta testing Office 365 information on tariff plans will still be refined, even for the American market.

It seems appropriate, especially taking into account the planned special package of Office 365 proposals on the Russian market, carefully deal with the service plans, their options, and functionality. On the other hand, you can always try an economical plan, and, in the event of a lack of functions, go to a more advanced one.

How it works

Of course, Office 365 refers to the cloud category, since the end user does not need to have any own infrastructure, except for PC and Internet access - Office 365 will come to it "from the cloud";)

Members of the press conference responded a few questions about the technical organization of the service. In particular, the server infrastructure on which Office 365 service works, is placed exclusively in Microsoft's data centers located worldwide, the data centers of partners are not involved. To deploy the Office 365 service, of course, the Microsoft platform is used. Creating a data center in Russia is not planned. The enterprise that is subscribed to the Office 365 service will not know what kind of data center it is the equipment that provides for it of Office 365.

For users, this means that email letters and instant messages between adjacent tables in the office can walk, for example, through Singapore;)

And this, in turn, imposes certain requirements for the characteristics of the channel to access the Internet. Its speeds should be enough for transmission of volumetric traffic (email letters, Office documents), and on real-time traffic - voice communication and video conferencing. The required capacitance of the channel depends on the number of users, and from the typical use of services by each of them, so that some specific recommendations are difficult to give.

Microsoft declares the reliability of the service at 99.9%, and its financial responsibility in the event of the failure of this parameter. This level of reliability means that 8.76 hours of downtime is allowed per year (43 minutes per month). However, users should remember that access to the service is carried out via the Internet, and, accordingly, it is also necessary to think about ensuring the reliability of the relevant channels. Of course, on the reliability of the main channels connecting the data center with the provider in Russia, end users can hardly influence, but have a spare Internet access option, for example, wireless, seems appropriate.

In this regard, it is interesting to provide an offer to obtain services for access to the Office 365 service from one hands together with the Internet access service. In this case, the supplier will be responsible for the performance of the entire complex. However, the responsibility of the provider, as practice shows, is highly likely to be located within the part of the subscription fee, the proportional time of the inoperability of the service over the stated 0.01%.

Therefore, it seems logical to think about the possibility of offline work. In particular, you can choose a service plan with the possibility of using the Microsoft Office desktop version so that you can continue to work and in the absence of internet access, or buy a license for such Microsoft Office separately. It is also apparent to have a backup copy of the critical data of the enterprise somewhere on local media, as well as have a minimal office IT infrastructure, so that in case of unforeseen situations, the data and at least some possibility of their processing have not been lost.

At the same time, Andrei Patok, the Vice-President for the Development of Corporate Business of VimpelCom, comments as follows how specifically the responsibility will carry the Beeline "Business" in the event of a service refusal: "... all types (responsibility), starting with moral . In business - it is very important to establish and maintain good relationships with the customer. Plus the responsibility that is listed in the treaties. ... SLA implying material responsibility. Here we do not differ from other large operators, in our relationships with clients we provide such a product configuration that would have all kinds of motivation for the provider so that the quality corresponds to the requirements of the client. "

Platform for development

Office 365 is not only ready-to-use service, but also a platform for development.

For example, the developer can implement the so-called web part - a software applet that processes the data on the SharePoint Online website and displays them to a specific web page area in a convenient user.

You can write a code that will interact with Excel documents and Access databases located in Office 365.

It is possible to create your own client for Lync, implementing a functionality specific to the enterprise - for example, to build communications to the main business application of the enterprise. Due to, for example, in the text of instant messages, the number of customer requests will be transmitted or shipping invoice directly from the corresponding applications.

Currently, beta testing of the application store for Office 365 - Microsoft Office 365 MarketPlace is already running, which opens the appropriate prospects for developers.

Any program is not only files and functionality, it is also a service. And the more modern program, the more difficult its basis and the extensive area of \u200b\u200bthe services provided. Today, this concept stepped into a new level, providing the user not a service or a program as such, but a certain comprehensive solution, including both in different proportions. A vivid example of this coming future is a proposal called Microsoft Office 365 (version is available in Russian).

The new commercial concept of the developer company is a list of services available via the Internet for subscription services, access to which allows you to use the usual programs, regardless of where exactly the service consumer is now and what device it uses. As a result of the subscription to the 365 office, the user gains constant access to a peculiar business package, which includes the necessary office set, as well as software to manage it and postal communication.

You can download Office 365 for free in Russian (Rights - subscribe to these services), and the activation key gets for 30 days for the test to evaluate how much you like this software.

The set of software package, depending on the subscription option, includes a different composition of the programs, but in general is available for the user:

• sharePoint System (Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies), which supplies a user with a simple and efficient page constructor and allows you to create a website website;
• place to store absolutely any information within the ONEDRIVE (cloud file storage from Microsoft);
• the ability to forward email using the business class service located on the Exchange server database (originally conceived as a team for collaboration, including a wide toolkit for sharing voice and text messages);
• communicator Lync, which provides and sharing text messages, and holding conferences and in audio format, and video format, including desktop display;
• access to the office package of the most modern version that has been released, and is currently represented by the 2016 Office.

The concept was first launched on beta testing on the outcome of 2010, and as an officially released product became available to consumers in the summer of 2011.

At the moment, home users can take advantage of this package as a combination of desktop programs and network services. Sufficiently modest payment allows you to download on the PC and after installation to use practically no unplaceable Microsoft Access (Create and Manage Relational Databases), Microsoft Word (Famous Text Editor) and Microsoft Excel (Tablebook for Formulas, Various Tables and Charts) Useful for business:

• ONENOTE. (a program for creating notes is extremely useful as a personal organizer, has a tree structure; recently download OneNote from free from the Microsoft website);
• Outlook. (The world-famous email client for managing electronic userboxes, has a rich functionality, ample opportunities for address book contact management, customizable spam filters, mechanisms for creating backup copies of user data);
• PowerPoint. (a well-known program for creating presentations);
• Publisher. (Custom publishing system to help create marketing materials for the needs and objectives of the company).

In addition to this, access to the file storage of cloud type SkyDrive is given, where by default the user receives as many as 20 GB under its own files. Vords documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentation files and ONENOTE notes can now be edited directly through the browser.

A good concurrent stroke to the kit becomes sixty paid minutes of Skype-calls to phones in four dozen countries of the world, but the sample of these countries is not entirely clear - for example, Ukraine is not included in this list. Note that Skype was not so long purchased by Microsoft, which is engaged in its further support and development.

Any previous version in Russian microsoft Office can be downloaded for free for Windows 10, 8, 7 and XP On your PC, however, think that download the office 365 will not quite appropriate in view of what this package is a set of web services that extends through a subscription.

Did not turn out to be deprived and users of one more apple Popular Operations - Mac OS X. The main office package programs at the Office 2013 level are also available for them, and the place of the files on the SkyDrive cloud.

And in that, in another case, all programs are licensed and contain only those functions that developers have been given, but in the fact there are catching: all licenses are tied to the same Microsoft account, so make someone a beautiful gift (lay out On the Internet) or sell your acquisition will not be so possible.

However, in this approach, there is a plus: by purchasing a license once, the user can adjust them as part of its account - add useful features or delete unnecessary functionality using the Office.com portal.

The most global advantage advantage is the possibility of collaboration: the files located on SkyDrive can be viewed and edited by office applications, which has made Office 365 truly innovative and progressive solution in the application software market.

A distinctive feature of the proposal was its interface: after all programs included in the installation package will be installed and running, it becomes clear that it is a bit adapted and finalized Metro interface, which has become known for Windows 8.

The new design is distinguished by a pleasant ease, which immediately favorably affects the speed of application and ease of operation, which is characteristic of almost all products from Microsoft.

In general, it is confidently saying that the development and implementation of Office 365 will not remain unnoticed by the Company's step, because the trend towards the development of client-server technologies continues to gain momentum. Add to all this well-known office programs and their high speed and proper reliability Office 365 will definitely confirm its high positions in the office software market, and for many consumers, the web orientation of the popular software will become a decisive factor when choosing.
