How is Office 365 different from Microsoft 365?

You might have heard talk of Microsoft 365, introduced by Microsoft in mid-2017. Despite its similar branding, Microsoft 365 is not to be confused with Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Office 365.

Office 365 is a cloud-based suite of productivity apps, while Portal.office.com is a package of services which includes Office 365, alongside other business tools. A user can subscribe to Office 365 without also subscribing to Microsoft 365—but all Microsoft 365 users will also have access to Office 365.

Microsoft 365 was developed to give businesses access to all the baseline tools they need to run their basic IT infrastructure, secure their business, and get things done. Alongside Office 365, Microsoft 365 includes Windows 10 Enterprise, and Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS), meaning subscribers get access to features like email and calendaring, file storage, data protection controls, cyber threat protection, administration and deployment controls, and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

All the services included in Microsoft 365 are available separately, though many businesses may find it more convenient and cost-effective to opt for the Microsoft 365 bundle, especially if they are not existing Microsoft business customers.

What apps and services does Office 365 for Business include?

Exactly what’s included in Office 365 for Business depends on which subscription level the user opts for, but the core apps and services available through Office 365 include:

1. Word

2. Excel

3. PowerPoint

4. Outlook

5. OneNote

6. Publisher

7. Exchange

8. SharePoint

9. Skype for Business

10. Microsoft Teams

11. OneDrive for Business

Some Office 365 applications also have mobile versions to help business do more on the go, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneDrive for Business, Skype for Business, Yammer, and OneNote. Office 365 subscriptions also include 1 TB of OneDrive for Business cloud storage for each user.

How Do I Access the Portal?

From any web browser, to go the Microsoft Office 365 home page. You will be prompted to enter your UMB e-mail and password.

If you are off-campus, there is a new security step called Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA requires another device (smartphone or landline) to authenticate that you are who you say you are by sending what is called a “Push” or a pass code. Once this step is completed, you will be taken to your Office 365 portal home page.
