The Microsoft Office 365 mobile platform recently extended its scope by adding support for business services using BlackBerry. After spending a year in beta testing, the platform now operates on BlackBerry phones and tablets, extending its reach to make it compatible with the majority of mobile devices used in business settings.
Office 365 is a combination of software and services that extend the well-known Microsoft Office productivity suite off of the desktop and into the cloud. This enables individual users to access and edit their data anywhere through cloud storage. The platform also makes it easier for teams to work collectively thanks to online versions of tools such as Exchange, SharePoint and Lync. It includes both desktop and web versions of Office applications and ample storage. In a typical Office 365 installation, each user receives a 25 gigabyte email storage allowance coupled with 10 gigabytes of storage accessible through their company’s intranet. Microsoft also backs the platform with a 99.9 percent up time guarantee and includes the ability to set up web conferences.
On the BlackBerry platform, Office 365 has unique capabilities that make it one of the most useful business services using BlackBerry devices. It integrates with Exchange to allow BlackBerry users to access their Outlook mail. Unique to the BlackBerry platform is support for the BlackBerry Balance application that makes it easier to separate work documents, events and contacts in the Office 365 environment from personal data elsewhere on the BlackBerry device.
With attractive monthly pricing per user, Microsoft Office 365 makes it affordable for companies to give their employees the latest productivity and collaboration software. The mobile aspect of Office 365 lets the software’s productivity benefits extend past the desktop and to home computers, tablet computers and smart phones. Now that it is available for the leading business smart phone platform, Microsoft Office 365 is a complete solution for businesses needing to stay productive and connected everywhere.
