This week, we celebrate “Get It Done Day,” in the spirit of helping our customers get things done using Office 365–wherever they are, from nearly any device. More than half of office workers say they need to be able to get work done no matter where they are, and more than one-third, say they do their best thinking outside the office, according to a recent online survey conducted by Harris Interactive Inc. on behalf of Microsoft.
At Microsoft, we’re all about helping our customers do just that. By enabling our customers to be more productive, they can more easily juggle their busy personal and professional lives.
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve made several announcements that reflect this spirit of progress:
- Moving forward, subscribers to all Office 365 enterprise plans will also receive free licenses for Yammer Enterprise. At the same time, we’ve made several updates to Yammer including better email interoperability and an improved Yammer mobile experience to help information workers get work done anywhere.
- We’ve added real-time collaboration editing to Office Web Apps to help employees work better together. We’ve also introduced AutoSave in Word Web App.
- Starting in December, users of Office 365 Home Premium will get an additional 20 GB of SkyDrive storage. What’s more, they’ll be able to share some of their subscription benefits with up to four members of their household.
- We’ve made enhancements to the Message Center to improve our communications with customers on changes that impact the Office 365 environment.
- Finally, we’ve added search innovations to SharePoint Online that enhance the number and quality of search-driven solutions organizations can build into their sites and portals.
We’re working hard to offer our customers innovative capabilities that move their organizations forward. By getting things done ourselves, our goal is to help our customers do the same–wherever they may be.
