The Microsoft Office suite since its launch has been adopted by the vast majority of companies worldwide, which has given it total popularity. Despite the alternatives, this suite has become a standard for a wide variety of organizations. Whether because of its functions, stability, or because it is entirely intuitive, the truth is that the general public has already become accustomed to this powerful tool.

The fact that it is a tool adopted by most companies gives advantages to those who know how to use it. That is, all the functions and skills we acquire in the software are immediately transferable to new jobs and companies. This aspect is the advantage of portability.

Communication is also another essential factor. It is effortless to communicate and collaborate more effectively with Microsoft Office tools, whether with Outlook for e-mail, Excel spreadsheets, Word, and PowerPoint features (Figure 5.1). As the vast majority of professionals are aware of these tools, communication and information sharing become easier.

This facility is not restricted to the fact that Microsoft Office is a standard today in most companies. Microsoft solutions are characterized by being friendly and easy to use. It does not mean that they are limited. On the contrary, they are powerful tools. This combination makes it a tool that helps organizations to become more productive. Yes, the productivity you get from using Microsoft Office is another significant factor.

Although, in this chapter, we are referring to Microsoft Office 2019, the content applies in the same way to Microsoft Office 365. What is the difference between them? The difference relates to the form of purchase or license to use the solution. Microsoft Office 2019 is sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a one-time upfront cost to get Microsoft Office 2019 applications for a computer. Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription service that ensures you always have the latest modern productivity tools from Microsoft. Therefore, the difference between the two does not refer to the functionalities, but the form of acquisition.
