Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announces Microsoft 365, a new software subscription service that combines Office 365 and Windows 10 into one package.
As the workplace landscape changes, so do the needs of businesses looking to succeed in their respective industries. Microsoft has introduced many effective tools for businesses to utilize in scaling their operations, and it was only natural for software tools like Office 365 and Windows 10 would evolve together to form something new and more robust. Enter Microsoft 365, a set of new software suites designed to meet the growing demands of growing businesses from the small startup to the large corporation.
