Juan Carlos Perez from CIO just did an assessment of Microsoft Office 365, laying out its major pros and cons. According to him, Office 365 is more suitable for hybrid environments, as opposed to solutions like Google Apps which promote an all-online approach. However, it does not support all versions of popular on premise software, for example Outlook 2003 or Office 2003. Moreover, it has experienced persistent downtime issues in recent times, which could permanently damage its prospects if they continue. Office 365 and Google Apps however, are not the only collaboration and document management software around. Companies would do well to consider other alternatives like HyperOffice and Zoho which may be more suitable for their context.
