Office 365 is a web-based subscription service that gives you anywhere access to MS office tools and applications such as word, excel, access, Publisher, Outlook and Powerpoint.

History of Office 365:

Office 365 is not Microsoft’s first cloud platform. In fact, Microsoft got into the cloud application game in 2005 when it started to provide a managed service for Exchange to some customers. The first public information about this effort appeared in October 2007 when Microsoft announced “Exchange Labs”. Among other features, Microsoft said that Exchange Labs supported 5 GB mailboxes and used SSL to secure client communications. The commercial launch followed when Microsoft brought this effort forward into Business Productivity Online Services (BPOS), launched in 2008. BPOS included Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Office Communications Server Online (an ancestor of Skype for Business), Forefront (anti-virus), and Office Live Meeting. Collectively, this set of applications was referred to as Microsoft Online Services. The technology used by BPOS was an adapted form of the software sold at the time to on-premises customers as Exchange 2007, SharePoint 2007, and so on. The big difference between Office 365 and BPOS is the stability and robustness of the current platform, largely due to the maturity of the workloads now running inside Office 365 combined with a highly developed automation framework to orchestrate operations. In a nutshell, BPOS was an example of how to take software designed to be deployed in a traditional on-premises environment and bend it so that it functioned in a multi-tenant infrastructure accessed through the Internet. The problem was that “bending” the software often made things break simply because the software was not designed to cope with the stresses and pressures generated by large-scale multi-tenant operations. Office 365 is built around software designed with the unique demand of cloud-scale operations in mind, so its delivery and reliability record is much better than BPOS ever managed.
