What is Office 365?

A subscription-based online Office and software-plus-services suite that offers access to various services and software built around the Microsoft Office platform.

Successor to Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) – originally designed to provide hosted e-mail, social networking and collaboration, and cloud storage.

First included hosted versions of Exchange, Lync, SharePoint, Office Web Apps, along with access to the Microsoft Office 2010 desktop applications on the Enterprise plan.

With the release of Office 2013, Office 365 expanded to include new plans aimed at different types of businesses, along with new plans aimed at general consumers.
