5 Practical Reasons to Buy Office 365

From the get-go, Microsoft Office 365 has always been a stellar product and continuously getting better. It’s a subscription service, a level up from the traditional boxed copies that have been used by offices for such a long time now. Although you can still avail of the boxed copies, it doesn’t really much sense now given the capabilities that Office 365 has in store for users.

If you’re still not on board and you need more convincing why subscribing to the service is a great investment for your company, we’re giving you the top reasons why you should by Office 365.

* You get 1 TB of storage PER PERSON

This alone makes Office 365 such a great deal. The Personal Edition provides 1 TB of storage on Microsoft OneDrive; the Home edition has 1 TB of storage on OneDrive for each of the 5 users. Subscribing to the Personal Edition will cost you $70, which is a better deal compared to Google Drive or Apple iCloud. The two services will cost you $10 for 1 TB of storage; they don’t offer an annual subscription. So that’s already $50 savings for 1 TB of storage.

Going for a monthly subscription will cost you $7, which is still cheaper than Google Drive and iCloud. PLUS you’ll also get the full suite of Microsoft Office tools.

* Access for multiple users 

Up to 5 separate PCs or Macs, 5 phones, or 5 tablets are allowed to access your Office 365 Home subscription. As mentioned above, EACH user gets 1 TB of storage and own access to Microsoft Office tools. Imagine the savings involved if you agree to a joint buy-in, which is a great idea if your family, friends, and roommates are planning to get Office 365. Two people splitting the cost of the Home edition comes down to only $30 for the first year.

* Access to Office 365 tools

Your subscription gives you access to the Microsoft tools that you have probably been using for years already – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, and OneDrive. You also get 60 Skype minutes per month per user for international calls. If you buy each piece of the following software of feature, it would cost you around $500, which is already equivalent to around 6 years of an Office 365 subscription.

* Access to updated versions of Microsoft Office

Office 365 is designed to receive ongoing updates, which is a major deal compared to buying the standalone versions. You don’t have to get the newest versions of Office to receive the latest updates on content and features.

* Office tools will be compatible with your tablets

Office 365’s staples – Word, Excel, and PowerPoint – are optimized to become compatible with Windows 10 tablets and Apple iPads. This allows you to switching to your tablet and work with

ease just like when you’re working using your desktop PC. Access to files will never be a problem, thanks to OneDrive. You don’t have to deal with document changes or new screen configurations when you’re working using your tablet.
