It’s been reported that Facebook is about to ship out its Oculus virtual reality headsets, and Google has its own version in the works.

Office 365 is constantly evolving. What started as an online extension of Microsoft’s flagship productivity suite has evolved into one of the best pieces of cloud software currently on the market.

The reason we part ways with certain things is that we don’t wish to see them ever again. But in this modern day and age, is that possible?

Back in the prehistoric ages, Neanderthals resorted to cave drawings to tell bedtime stories or to announce marriages. Microsoft PowerPoint is the modern-day equivalent of cave art; the objective remains unchanged, but its efficiency can be questionable.

For those hoping to achieve compliance with a managed Office 365 plan, the same broken record is oft-repeated: cloud-based security, real-time collaboration, and predictable costs.
