A subscription-based online Office and software-plus-services suite that offers access to various services
and software built around the Microsoft Office platform.
Successor to Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) – originally designed to provide
hosted e-mail, social networking and collaboration, and cloud storage.
First included hosted versions of Exchange, Lync, SharePoint, Office Web Apps, along with access to
the Microsoft Office 2010 desktop applications on the Enterprise plan.
With the release of Office 2013, Office 365 expanded to include new plans aimed at different types of
businesses, along with new plans aimed at general consumers.
Google Apps is a service from Google providing independently customizable versions of several Google
products under a custom domain name. It features several Web applications with similar functionality to Office,
including Gmail, Google Groups, Google Calendar, Talk, Drive, Play, Docs, News, Wallet and Sites.
Google Apps for business is free for 30 days, $5 per user account a month thereafter, or $50 per year. Google
Apps for Education is free and offers the same amount of storage.
In addition to shared apps (calendar, docs, etc.), there is Google Apps Marketplace, an App "store" for Google
user. It contains various apps, both free and for a fee, and can be installed to customize the Google experience.

Office 365 Partners
(according to Interbrand) use
Microsoft’s cloud productivity services
“Google Docs' importance will likely mean
continued investment in Android clients. That's
the lowest level of business support, one
equally geared to individuals' personal
documents as it is to real business work.”
“But you can't edit the documents from the iPad
or iPhone in the Google Drive app for iOS at all.
Neither online nor offline. You can't create
new documents, either…That’s pathetic.”
“There is still one catch, however: offline editing
is only for documents…you’ll need the latest
version of Google Chrome and have the
Google Drive Chrome web app installed.”
“Google…acknowledged that it [new single
privacy policy] would let it draw a more
meaningful profile for advertisers…Google also
tweaked its search results…excluding
recommendations for Facebook and Twitter…”
“Google's own attempt at a Gmail app for
iPhone was a woeful dud. We expect the Gmail
app to get better, if the Sparrow team will be
working on it. Hopefully, the Sparrow app
won't get worse.”
“Microsoft was much more attractive in the
long term…Office 365 is a…common platform
onto which we can surface functionality. We want
to build Web services for our schools and
package them in SharePoint.”
“I like what I see in the new Office, and if we've
learned anything about the consumerization of IT,
it's actually really important for employees to
like their software.”
“The new Office is the best Office…Without
warning, the company is making beautiful,
modern software, radically different from
anything it's done before.”

Google Plus
No offline coverage within the Google Apps service level agreement
No access with any browser except for Chrome
No ability to edit spreadsheets

Google recommends not working offline with shared documents to prevent data loss.
If an online collaborator deletes the text you edit while offline, their changes will override yours
If a collaborator deletes the document you’re editing offline, your changes will be lost when you come back online because the document will no longer exist.
“Try to use offline
editing for documents
that you own and that
won't be deleted
without your
knowledge.”
Google Drive Offline: on any devices?
Google has tried to offer Offline capabilities and failed in the past with Gears
Current solution offers a confusing and impractical offline experience “Google Docs is not really suitable
for business use due to limited
functionality and the lack of offline
capabilities.”

Google Apps Pricing
“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When
you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay
too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you
bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The
common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a
lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well
to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will
have enough to pay for something better.”
