Microsoft 365

Cloud productivity suite

Microsoft 365 is a subscription service from Microsoft that bundles productivity software—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook—with cloud storage and other tools.

It replaced the one-time-purchase model of Microsoft Office with ongoing monthly or annual fees: My company switched to Microsoft 365 last year.

Often shortened to M365.
