The vision of the modern workplace is evolving and 365 is expanding to meet the challenge with a number of new product capabilities allowing workers to collaborate more fully in a safe and secure fashion. Microsoft 365 brings together Office 365, Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security and along with it comes two new flavours of the product, 365 Education designed specifically for the education sector and 365 F1 designed for the requirements of the first line user. Additionally, there are new features being released to unlock employee creativity across the suite with enhancements to Excel, search functionality and LinkedIn profile integration. Teamwork will be further enhanced in line with the modern workplace shift from individual productivity to dynamic teamwork. As a result of this Microsoft Teams will become the primary client for intelligent communications replacing Skype for Business. Analytics, intelligent proactive security and compliance are also being overhauled as part of the toolset allowing organisations to meet and combat the ever changing threats that organisation in the modern world face.
