Microsoft 365 provides virtually anywhere access to familiar Office tools, plus enterprise email, conferencing, and more IT services that are hosted in the cloud (managed remotely on servers owned by Microsoft).  

Many services you use every day are a part of the cloud— everything from web-based email to mobile banking and online photo storage. Because this infrastructure is located online or “in the cloud,” you can access it virtually anywhere, from a PC, tablet, smartphone, or other device with an Internet connection.

Microsoft 365 gives faculty/staff/students larger e-mail quotas (100gb),  OneDrive for Business file storage (1tb), Microsoft Web Apps, instant messaging, video conferencing tools, and much more.
