Notably, Microsoft's improved variant, also known as Microsoft 365, combined Windows 10 desktop licenses and the Intune device management solution, providing a comprehensive solution for organizations relying solely on Microsoft. The newly adopted brand, replacing the widely recognized Office 365, carries forward the legacy, maintaining service levels, applications, and subscription packages for existing customers.

Microsoft’s rebranding is slowly gaining traction since the global lockdown. The incorporation of Office 365's robust productivity features and services and Microsoft 365's platform-centric features marks the software giant's strategy of brand unification.

Clarifying the Microsoft Ecosystem

For a clear understanding, let's explore the differences between the two offerings. Microsoft Office (2013, 2016, 2019) refers to the software suites purchased upfront, with a perpetual license and are installed locally. To utilize the latest features, you need to buy a new copy of the most recent edition. Over the years, Microsoft has transitioned towards subscription-based models, with Office now available on subscription, as compared to its previous availability only to volume customers.

Microsoft 365, the former Office 365, is a cloud-based service requiring a monthly or annual subscription. It includes online versions of Microsoft tools and applications hosted on Microsoft servers, eliminating the need for local installations. As a cloud-first service, users always get automatic access to the latest features since the platform is regularly updated.

The inclusion of Microsoft cloud services, Microsoft Office, and Windows 10 in subscriptions, set Microsoft 365 to be the standard license choice for most businesses. The main advantage is the automatic updates ensuring constant access to the latest features, patches, and no more waiting for updates based on three-year cycles.

Moreover, organizing services on the cloud reduces the need for the installation of the server software or maintaining hardware. Consequently, product updates, patches, and new releases are automatic, making it convenient for the IT teams and budget-friendly for the finance department.
