Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is the dominant cloud platform for collaboration, email, and Office applications. It is the core of the modern digital workplace.
Core Concept
Integrated productivity suite: from Teams and SharePoint through to the classic Office apps, all tools are tightly interconnected and secured via a central identity (Entra ID).
Assessment
- Use case: Standard working environment for virtually all industries.
- Advantage: Maximum compatibility, comprehensive security features (E5 Security), and high employee adoption.
- Limitation: Strong dependency on a single vendor (vendor lock-in), complex governance requirements, and data protection challenges (US Cloud Act).
