In a nutshell, Office 365 is a collection of apps and cloud services that you can use to be productive across a variety of devices from just about anywhere. For now, we are just rolling out the Outlook 365 e-mail application. What is “the cloud?” The cloud is a friendly way of describing web-based computing services. 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. What if I need help?
