1 Cloud First, Mobile First: Working mobile has changed. We dont only use our smartphones and tablets when we are out of the officewe use them all the time, constantly switching back and forth. Office 365 is designed for this new mobile first world. Microsoft has invested heavily in optimizing how

its applications appear and perform on any device. Interfaces are more visual than ever. And searching,

sharing and communicating have all been streamlined.

2 Synergy: A major change in Office 365 (over previous versions of Microsoft Office) is the ability to launch features and capabilities for one application from inside another one. For example, you can send an Outlook email or launch a Skype call from directly within Word. Instead of opening and closing applications,

you now might find yourself getting things done simply by highlighting a word or clicking on a link.

3 Real-time Collaboration: In a world where many people may never be in the same office, much less actually meet in person, the ability to collaborate is essential. With Office 365, multiple people can work on the same file at the same time, see each others edits and track different versions.

4 Group Productivity: A focus on group and team productivitynot just personal productivityis one of the biggest differences that Office 365 has over previous versions of Microsoft solutions. Groups have access to conversations, shared files and a shared notebook. Files get associated with the group and not

with specific people. You can also share with people who are not a part of your corporate organization.

5 Project Management: If your approach to project management involves a spreadsheet, email threads and lots of sticky notes you will want to look at Office 365 Planner. It offers a simple and highly visual way to organize your projects: create plans, organize and assign tasks, share files, chat and

get updates on progress. Your plan can be just a list of tasks or a fully-expanded schedule with budgets,

time estimates, completion dependencies and more.

6 Smarter Office Apps: As you use Office 365, its constantly learning about your needs and preferences. Outlook Clutter tries to learn how you like your emails handled. Office Delve recommends content relevant to your work. Instead of relying on you to customize your software settings, Office 365 is

getting the smarts to do that all on its own.

7 Tell a Story: For preparing a presentation, Office 365 gives you the familiar PowerPoint and also Sway, Microsofts digital storytelling app. Instead of individual slides, Sway is based around a storyline. And its relentlessly cloud focused: use Sway to import pictures from Facebook, YouTube, Twitter

and other content without having to leave the app.

8 Reinventing the Email Attachment: Email attachments have always been a mixed blessing: while the transmission is instant, the attachment is out there forever, frozen in time. Not anymore. With Office 365, instead of attaching the actual document, you share a link. Keep working on the document and

your recipients will always see the latest version. You can also set controls on security and further sharing.

9 Calendar: Ask people to rate their all-time, favorite Office app and Outlook Calendar often heads the list. And it gets better with Office 365, helping to ensure that everyone stays in sync whether they are at their desk or on the go, providing access to personal and organizational schedules.
