It’s been a long time coming, but I have a feeling that the Cloud is about to get real. For everybody.
Google had a good offering for a while, and Adobe have a small corner of the market. But, Microsoft have been busy. They are on board, and they have turned a corner.
Microsoft Office 365 is now a fully-operational cloud offering. Office 365 works on all devices. For example, iPhone, Galaxy, Nexus, iPad, MacBook, Laptop etc.
What this means is that you can use Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Anywhere, anytime on anything. Because not only do you get those applications… you also get a cloud file system, Sharepoint.
To be honest, I think this has the potential to create a step change in the way people work and live. That’s a bold statement but, frankly, all previous offerings pale in comparison to what Office 365 offers.
