The New Office App for Android and iOS

Microsoft Office apps have been unified into a single one, so you don’t need to have the individual Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps on your mobile device anymore. If you’re subscribed to Office 365 or Microsoft 365, you will also have access to numerous premium features.

One place for all your files and notes.

The app includes templates for creating Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, and also supports OneDrive cloud storage.

Office App Availability

The app is now generally available worldwide for all Android and iOS phones. At this moment, there is no iPad version, so iPad users still have to use the standalone apps.

Premium Features

To use extra features, you have to own one of these Office 365 subscriptions:

  • Office 365 Personal
  • Office 365 Home
  • Office 365 Business
  • Office 365 Business Premium
  • Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E4 (Enterprise and Government)
  • Office 365 Education E3 and E4
  • Office 365 ProPlus

 

Some of the premium features that are available on both Android and iOS are table cell customization, WordArt, more colors for formating, page orientation, header and footer customization, page and section breaks, columns in page layout, chart elements, etc.

Microsoft Productivity Score

The way how people work has changed over the past few years. You probably know the ubiquitous phrase we’ve been hearing about for years – digital transformation. That is what today’s business is all about. The available technology and solutions help us to become more productive.

Microsoft 365 was designed to create a better and more efficient work environment; recently, the tool called Productivity Score was announced. Productivity Score gives insights into how an organization works and shows actions that need to be taken to improve productivity. It’s focused on two areas: technology and employee experience.

The employee experience shows how people collaborate and communicate, how they work from anywhere, and what their meeting culture is like. On the other hand, the technology experience encompasses device optimization and network operation.

Productivity Score Private Preview

Only a private preview version is currently available. For employee experience, you must have an Office 365 commercial plan or a Microsoft 365 subscription, and for technology experience you must have at least 50 Intune or co-managed Windows 10 devices. If you want to try it, feel free to contact us today!
