Office 365, or O365 as it is more commonly known, is much more than simply a cloud–based replacement of Email, Word and Excel—it’s a comprehensive and complete workplace productivity experience, accessible anywhere, from any device. In line with the other cloud services offered by Microsoft, O365 is continuously updated with new features and capabilities via the cloud, which come quickly and relentlessly.

We use streaming services to watch Frasier at the end of lo-ooo-ng work days. As part of engineering teams, we use application monitoring and cloud services (like CI and cloud infrastructure) to function, so that code changes seamlessly deploy into production.
