The brandingOffice 365was introduced in 2010 to refer to a subscription-based software as a service platform for the corporate market, including hosted services such as Exchange, SharePoint, andLync Server,and Office on the web. Some plans also included licenses for theMicrosoft Office 2010software. Upon the release ofOffice 2013,Microsoft began to promote the service as the primary distribution model for the Microsoft Office suite, adding consumer-focused plans integrating with services such as OneDrive andSkype,and emphasizing ongoing feature updates (as opposed to non-subscriptionlicenses,where new versions require purchase of a new license, and do not receive feature updates).

Logo used from 2022 to 2024.[2]

In July 2017, Microsoft introduced a second brand of subscription services for the enterprise market known as Microsoft 365, combining Office 365 withWindows 10Enterprisevolume licensesand other cloud-basedsecurityanddevice managementproducts. On April 21, 2020, Office 365 was rebranded as Microsoft 365, to emphasize the service's current inclusion of products and services beyond the core Microsoft Office software family (including cloud-based productivity tools andartificial intelligencefeatures). Most products that were called Office 365 were renamed as Microsoft 365 on the same day.[3]In October 2022, Microsoft announced that it would discontinue the "Microsoft Office" brand by January 2023, with most of its products and online productivity services being marketed primarily under the "Microsoft 365" brand.[4][5][6]It continues to reside on the domain nameoffice365,whereas personal (non-education/enterprise) accounts are onlive.However, Microsoft reversed this stance with the release of an Office 2024 preview build in November 2023.[7][8]

History

edit

As Office 365

edit

Microsoft first announced Office 365 in October 2010, beginning with aprivate betawith various organizations, leading into a public beta in April 2011, and reaching general availability on June 28, 2011, with a launch aimed originally atcorporateusers. Facing growing competition fromGoogle's similar serviceGoogle Workspace,Microsoft designed the Office 365 platform to "bring together" its existing online services (such as theBusiness Productivity Online Suite) into "an always-up-to-date cloud service" incorporatingExchange Server(for e-mail),SharePoint(for internal social networking, collaboration, and a public web site), andLync(for communication,VoIP,and conferencing). Plans were initially launched for small business and enterprises; the small business plan offered Exchange e-mail, SharePoint Online, Lync Online, web hosting via SharePoint, and theWeb Appwith the enterprise plan also adding per-user licenses for the Office 2010 Professional Plus software and 24/7 phone support.[9][10]Following the official launch of the service, Business Productivity Online Suite customers were given 12 months to migrate from BPOS to the Office 365 platform.[11]

With the release ofOffice 2013,an updated version of the Office 365 platform was launched on February 27, 2013, expanding Office 365 to include new plans aimed at different types of businesses, along with new plans aimed at general consumers, including benefits tailored towards Microsoft consumer services such asOneDrive(whose integration with Office was a major feature of the 2013 suite).[12]The server components were updated to their respective 2013 versions, and Microsoft expanded the Office 365 service with new plans, such as Small Business Premium, Midsize Premium, and Pro Plus.[13]A new Office 365 Home Premium plan aimed at home users offers access to the Office 2013 suite for up to five computers, along with expandedOneDrivestorage and 60 minutes of Skype calls monthly. The plan is aimed at mainstream consumers, especially those who want to install Office on multiple computers.[14][15]A University plan was introduced, targeted at post-secondary students. With these new offerings, Microsoft began to offer prepaid Office 365 subscriptions through retail outlets alongside the normal, perpetually licensed editions of Office 2013 (which are only licensed for use on one computer, and do not receive feature updates).[16][17]

On March 19, 2013, Microsoft detailed its plans to provide integration with the enterprisesocial networkingplatformYammer(which they had acquired in 2012) for Office 365, such as the ability to use asingle sign-onbetween the two services, shared feeds and document aggregation, and the ability to entirely replace the SharePoint news feed and social functionality with Yammer.[18]The ability to provide a link to a Yammer network from an Office 365 portal was introduced in June 2013, with heavier integration (such as a Yammer app for SharePoint and single sign-on) to be introduced in July 2013.[19]

On July 8, 2013, Microsoft unveiledPower BI,a suite ofbusiness intelligenceand self-servedata miningtools for Office 365, to be released later in the year. Power BI is primarily incorporated into Excel, allowing users to use thePower Querytool to create spreadsheets and graphs using public andprivate data,and also performgeovisualizationwithBing Mapsdata using the Power Map tool (previously available as a beta plug-in known as GeoFlow). Users will also be able to access and publish reports, and perform natural language queries on data.[20][21]As a limited-time offer for certain markets (but notably excluding the US), Microsoft also offered a free one-yearXbox LiveGold subscription with any purchase of an Office 365 Home Premium or University subscription, until September 28, 2013.[22]

From April 15, 2014, Microsoft renamed the "Home Premium" plan to "Home,” and added a new "Personal" plan for single users.[23][24]

In June 2014, the amount of OneDrive storage offered to Office 365 subscribers was increased to 1terabytefrom 20 GB.[25]On October 27, 2014, Microsoft announced "unlimited" OneDrive storage for Office 365 subscribers.[26]However, due to abuse and a general reduction in storage options implemented by Microsoft, the 1 TB cap was reinstated in November 2015.[27]

In June 2016, Microsoft madePlanneravailable for general release. It is considered to be a competitor toTrelloand to other agile team collaboration cloud services.[28]

In April 2017, Microsoft announced that with the ending of mainstream support forOffice 2016on October 13, 2020, access toOneDrive for Businessand Office 365-hosted servers for Skype for Business will become unavailable to those who are not using Office 365 ProPlus or Office perpetual in mainstream support.[29]In July 2019, Microsoft announced that the hostedSkype for BusinessOnline service would be discontinued on July 31, 2021, with users being redirected to theMicrosoft Teamscollaboration platform as its replacement. Since September 2019, Skype for Business Online is no longer offered to new subscribers.[30][31]

In October 2017, the existing Outlook Premium service was discontinued and folded exclusively into Office 365, with all Personal and Family subscribers subsequently being upgraded to 50 GB of storage.[32]

edit

For businesses

edit

The "Microsoft 365" brand was first introduced atMicrosoft Inspirein July 2017 as an enterprise subscription product, succeeding the "Secure Productive Enterprise" services released in 2016, and combiningWindows 10Enterprise with Office 365 Business Premium, and the Enterprise Mobility + Security suite including Advanced Threat Analytics,AzureActive Directory,Azure Information Protection, Cloud App Security andMicrosoft Intune.Microsoft 365 is sold via Microsoft and its cloud services reseller network.[33][34]

Consumer launch

edit

On March 30, 2020, Microsoft announced that the consumer plans of Office 365 would be rebranded as "Microsoft 365" (a brand also used by Microsoft for an enterprise subscription bundle of Windows, Office 365, and security services) on April 21, 2020, succeeding existing consumer plans of Office 365.[35]

It is a superset of the existing Office 365 products and benefits, positioned towards "life", productivity, and families, including theMicrosoft Officesuite, 1 TB of additionalOneDrivestorage and access to OneDrive Personal Vault, and 60 minutes ofSkypecalls per month. Under the brand, Microsoft will also add access to its collaboration platformTeams(which will also add additional features designed around family use), and a premium tier ofMicrosoft Family Safety.Microsoft also announced plans to offer trial offers of third-party services for Microsoft 365 subscribers, with companies such asAdobe(Creative CloudPhotography),Blinkist,CreativeLive,Experian,andHeadspacehaving partnered. Microsoft 365 Personal and Family succeeded the Office 365 Personal and Home subscriptions, with no change in pricing.[36][37][38][39]

Office 365 for small- and medium-sized businesses was also renamed Microsoft 365, with Office 365 Business and ProPlus becoming "Microsoft 365 Apps for business" and "Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise", Office 365 Business Essentials becoming "Microsoft 365 Business Basic", and Office 365 Business Premium becoming "Microsoft 365 Business Standard" (with the existing Microsoft 365 Business product becoming "Microsoft 365 Business Premium" ). The Office 365 brand remains in use for its enterprise, education, healthcare, and governmental plans. Microsoft stated that "over the last several years, our cloud productivity offering has grown well beyond what people traditionally think of as 'Office'", citing examples such asForms,Planner,Stream,and Teams.[40]

On October 13, 2022, Microsoft announced that it would be phasing out the Microsoft Office brand, in favor of branding all products under the Microsoft 365 name. This change took effect onOfficein November 2022, followed by the Office mobile apps in January 2023. The Microsoft Office brand will still be used for legacy products, including subscription products still carrying the "Office 365" name since the previous Microsoft 365 rebranding, and the "on-premises" /perpetually licensedMicrosoft Office 2021.[41][17]

edit

Desktop applications

edit
Main article:List of Microsoft 365 applications and services

The Microsoft 365 desktop applications (formerly marketed asMicrosoft Office) are primarily used onpersonal computersrunningMicrosoft Windows,and are distributed as part of the Microsoft 365 subscription. They are installed using a "click-to-run" system which allows users to begin using the applications almost instantaneously, while files aredownloaded in the background.Updates to the software are installed automatically, covering both security and feature updates. These applications were one of the core components of the initial Office 365 service.[12][15][16][42]If the user's subscription lapses, the applications enter aread-onlymode where editing functionality is disabled. Full functionality is restored once a new subscription is purchased and activated.[43]

Although there are still "on-premises" or "perpetual" releases of Office released on a three-year cycle, these versions do not receive new features or access to new cloud-based services as they are released on Microsoft 365.[44][45][46]

All of these applications, excludingAccessandPublisher,are also available onmacOS.

An active Microsoft 365 subscription is still required to unlock certain advanced editing features, use the apps on devices with screens larger than 10.1 inches, or to use the apps for commercial purposes.[51][52][53]In February 2020, Microsoft introduced a new Microsoft Office app that integrates Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, replacing the previous, separate apps for each.[54]

Reception

edit

TechRadargave the 2013 update of Office 365 a 4.5 out of 5, praising its administration interfaces for being accessible to users with any level of expertise, the seamless integration of OneDrive Pro into the Office 2013 desktop applications, and the service as a whole for being suitable in small business environments, while still offering "powerful" options for use in larger companies (such asdata loss protectionand the ability to integrate with a localActive Directoryinstance). However, the service was severely criticized for how it handled its 2013 update for existing users, and its lack of integration with services such asSkypeandViva Engage.[65]

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, Office 365 revenue had exceeded that of conventional license sales of Microsoft Office software for the first time.[105]
