Microsoft Office 365 is a top choice for enterprises that want a cloud-based suite of productivity and collaboration applications, and comes with a ton of apps and features to make you more productive.

Because you’ve been using Office applications for many years, it’s easy to stick to the same old habits. For example, you’ve probably memorized all kinds of keyboard shortcuts. Once you’ve adapted to a changed interface, you’ll want to use your favorite application in the same familiar way.

Here are a few ways to make the most of your Office365 Suite:

Better Communication With Your Team

Have you heard about Skype in-app integration in Office 2016 apps? Use this feature to chat, share screens and have audio or video conversations with your colleagues. And you don’t even have to leave the application you’re working in!

Even when you do close the application, you can continue the conversation via Skype on your desktop or phone, and keep talking to the team as they edit.

Work From Any Device

You get the Office Web Apps with your Office 365 subscription, so you can work on your cloud files from any up-to-date Web browser on an Internet-connected computer. You don’t have to install the Office software on the computer.

You also get access to Office Mobile Apps so you can use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneDrive directly from your smartphone or tablet while you’re on the move! Download them from your Android or iOS device store.

Editing & Converting to PDF Easily

Finished editing your document, spreadsheet, presentation or publication? Converting it to a PDF is made simple with the Save as PDF integrated feature. If you want to edit a PDF, you can convert it into a Word document without the formatting issues that come with copy-pasting or editing.

50GB of Email Storage

Each user gets 50GB of storage with Exchange Online for email, calendar, tasks, notes, contacts and attachments. You can save more space in your mailbox by using the OneDrive cloud storage to share attachments.
