Before learning more about the Microsoft 365 Business Basic plan, let’s understand more about Microsoft 365 and its origin.
What is Microsoft 365?
Microsoft Office 365 is a popular suite of different applications that we have been using for decades to simplify our day-to-day personal as well as professional tasks. Some of the apps, like Word or Excel, are so common among professional users that everyone uses them daily without even thinking of other options.
In short, we have become habitual to the user-interface, usability, and functionality of Microsoft Office, which has become a part of our daily lives; our professional lives.
Microsoft understands this and has been updating and adding a lot more features to make business solutions simpler and better.
Microsoft Office was launched on August 1, 1988, by Bill Gates, and according to the data, Microsoft is working hard to enhance its capabilities in all aspects. In 2010, Microsoft rebranded this as Office 365 and made it available on a subscription basis, replacing the high upfront cost with perpetual licencing plans.
In 2017, Microsoft introduced Microsoft 365 as a brand of subscription services for businesses that includes different Microsoft applications along with Windows 10.
In April 2020, Microsoft rebranded Office 365 as Microsoft 365 with a lot of added features, tools, and functionalities to deal with modern business operations.
Also, Microsoft has discontinued "Office 365" as of January 2023 and replaced it totally with Microsoft 365.
Microsoft 365 has all the applications that Microsoft Office contains, but it comes with a subscription service. Also, Microsoft has added a lot more functionalities to it, along with an interactive user interface.
