Office 365 gives firms access to different applications from any location, expert says

Microsoft Office 365 will give companies the capability of using different types of Microsoft applications regardless of where their employees are.

That is according to Tom Warren, writing for winrumours.com, who said that people will be able to access products such as SharePoint and Lync through their desktop, online or via the cloud.

He added that Microsoft Office 365 will also include other collaborative services when it launches later this month, pooling all applications together to make it work.

Microsoft's corporate vice-president of Worldwide Partner Group Jon Roskill said earlier this month that Microsoft Office 365 will be available from June 28th.

Mr Warren told the news provider that Office 365 will provide plenty for businesses and their employees.

"Office 365 provides Office 2010, Exchange, SharePoint and Lync all Online in a cloud-based service," he said.

"The service is a full browser-based solution that incorporates webmail, collaboration and document management."
