Whether you’re setting up a brand-new workstation or upgrading your entire team’s tools, installing Microsoft Office 365 is a crucial step for modern business productivity. From Word and Excel to Teams and Outlook, Office 365 delivers the tools your team needs to communicate, collaborate, and succeed.

  • Word, Excel, PowerPoint
  • Outlook and Exchange Email
  • Microsoft Teams
  • OneDrive & SharePoint
  • Publisher, Access, and more (depending on the plan)
  • Cloud-based storage and collaboration tools
