Microsoft 365 versus Office 365
- 31 July, 2019
Office 365 is much more than just Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It is an extensive suite of useful tools that improve productivity on the shop floor, but what exactly does that mean? And what is the difference between it and Microsoft 365Both are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are indeed two different products. If you have lost the overview, we'll put it in a row for you.
Office 365: Productivity
Office 365 is a collection of applications that improve productivity. On the one hand, these are the long-standing Office tools Like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Access, as well as many more tools that support communication and collaborationThese include SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Planner, Flow, Delve, Yammer and Skype for Business. Finally, Office 365 also includes clear monitoring and analysis tools like Power BI. These allow you to generate clear insights from your data.
Microsoft 365 Business, E3 or E5?

Microsoft 365: Productivity + Windows 10 + Management & Security
Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 is a more complete suite that, in addition to Office 365, also includes Enterprise Mobility & Security (EMS) and a Windows 10 Enterprise license. With the end of Windows 7 support early 2020 The great added value of Microsoft 365 compared to Office 365, however, lies in Microsoft EMS. It essentially stands for the easy management and protection of different devices and users at different locations.
