The unveiling of Office 365 recently has made the company hit the news for many reasons. One of the main reasons why this platform is famous is that it is the only service that has come so close to the cloud. It comes with a variety of features, including emails, Office Web Apps, Office 2010 professional plus and collaboration. The following are some of the benefits you can take advantage of.

One of the most challenging things that have been hindering clients from using the cloud is security. However, the online services of Microsoft have been designed while taking into consideration the high level of security in mind. In order to access Office 365 applications, you use the 128-bit SSL/TSL encryption, meaning that if a third party intercepts a transmission, they will not be able to read it.

Most Microsoft clients were also previously shy of using cloud services because it is not reliable. Downtime in the services would mean reduced productivity from the workers, and loss to the company. The good thing about this program is that they have a scheduled uptime of 99.9 percent and allow for a service legal agreement. Moreover, with several datacenters from all walks of life, failure from one can be easily counteracted with another one that can act as a back up.

The world today is very concerned about compliance when it comes to business. Therefore, the industry and government regulations have become a very big deal. On its part, Microsoft Office 365 has been found to be compliant with the standards of ISO 27001, has passed the SAS70 type I and II audits and gained the EU safe harbor seal. Moreover, clients can now be able to play their part in keeping up with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act through the inclusion of user-friendly controls.

One of the most challenging aspects in the economy today for companies is the affordability of upgrading to the latest operating system. However, with the Office 365, you do not need to upgrade. It is compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and Windows XP SP3. You can also use on XP media center edition or Home edition, although it does not support merged identity.

Another great advantage of the new Office 365 is that you can be able to access updated and full featured Microsoft products with full functionality. These products are based on Lync, SharePoint 2010 and exchange 2010 SP1. Microsoft Linc 2010 is the client software for Windows, and the enterprise edition comes with a licensing for Office 2010 Professional Plus

Office 365 comes with integrated Microsoft Office Web Apps, which serve to compliment the full featured office applications, rather than overriding them. You can be able to access these services from anywhere outside your office, including Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. It also comes with the familiar traditional interface you are used to and your documents are displayed in the same way as in the desktop applications

The communications service feature of this service is Lync Online. One of the best things about Lync Online is the fact that you do not need to be on the corporate network to access it. You can access it directly over the internet, but you will not be able to share files.
