in this video I'm going to go over briefly some of the concepts of office 2013 and how it differs
from office 365 microsoft office 2013 is a group of programs they are designed to work together for
creating documents creating spreadsheets creating presentations and other even databases that are
designed for productivity and also collaboration these applications include microsoft word
microsoft excel powerpoint and outlook then it also depends on what version of office 2013 you
are getting so if you're getting the professional version of it then you'll probably have besides
the mentioned applications that i mentioned earlier you also can get microsoft access or
publisher on the ultimate version and also there is one note as well then there is also
office 365 that you might have heard office 365 it's basically the same set of applications that
i mentioned earlier but it's designed for it to be more a different licensing model instead
of you buying a set of cds and being allowed to install it only in one computer or in some
cases two computers in this case office 365 as a subscription model that you basically pay every
year and then you're allowed to install depending on what your purchased you can install it on up
to five computers now there are two versions or two versions of office 365 you have the for home
edition of it which is basically 999 a month and this is designed for you to install it on up to
five computers this can be five pcs or Macs you can install it in up to five tablets even access
on a smartphone and offline storage and also one terabyte of storage for up to five users online
then you have also the office 365 personal which is basically for the individual for one user and
this is somewhat a little bit less expensive so six ninety-nine a month and you can see the
different options here and as of the time of this recording they also have office day 65 online only
and the person of the addition of it it's free as of this time then there are also options of
365 here for business and three office 365 for business it basically has again it's a licensed
model of it which you can have five dollars per month per user and this is pretty much just
online here the first option here is just online then you have office 365 business which is 825 a
month again this depends on the time when you go to subscribe for it and you get also the desktop
version of it but you have to pay for it annually you basically get this installed or available
online for up to 5 pcs and again on tablets smartphones and so on then you also have the home
premium which basically between the business and the home premium you basically get the business
class email unlimited online meetings and social networking integration as well so the idea here is
that you have the traditional office application 2013 that you can get the CD is installed in your
computer and you usually get based on the version that you purchased you get microsoft word excel
and powerpoint on a basic version then if you go to the professional version you usually get
microsoft access add it onto the basic version then if you get the premier version you can get
also one note and also publisher and access of course Microsoft Outlook is included in there as
well outlook for email so I know it's a little bit kind of confusing at this point with the different
types of Licensing but the model basically is moving at this point more and more to like
Google Apps for Education or Google Apps for work where you pay subscription monthly or annually
and then you get access to your application or set up applications and here's a brief video on
how they intend to market office 365 e65 is the office you know and love on the devices you use
most whenever you need it and virtually wherever you are beginning with word excel powerpoint and
outlook office 365 provides all the familiar apps you've come to depend on along with a
dynamic set of cloud connected tools that help you communicate collaborate and get more done
with the flexibility of the cloud your files are never stuck on your computer
at work or your laptop at home office 365 lets you share and sync documents
virtually anywhere and anytime you're working stay nimble and stay in touch
see your team's calendars know when they're online send them an instant message or even
communicate face-to-face better than that work on the same document together in real time
you've got word excel powerpoint outlook and the rest of the office family all connected
by cloud driven features like co-authoring and video conferencing now combine that with
automatic updates a global network of experts support and a ninety-nine point nine percent
uptime guarantee then what you get is 365 24 7 possibilities get it done and office 365 com
so there you have it that's the marketing for office 365 it's a continuous payment you stop
paying on year to year three and so on then you lose access to the software so each one of them
has advantages the 365 online has the benefits of you having access anywhere on any type of
device and also multiple devices up to five of them depending on what you purchase but the
traditional licensing way is that you purchase it once and you can use it for 10 years you can use
it five years you can use it for years and so on so that's how it is one important thing to keep in
mind here as we are discussing the office suites is that it's referred to as a sweet because it is
tightly integrated applications that are designed to work together and you can transfer data from
one to the other or they can be integrated closely together and also as a sweet it's designed to give
you the full capability of you doing your job so let's say one day you have to do a presentation
therefore you have powerpoint on another day you have to do calculations and budgets and so
on then you can use Excel and another day you're going to write a document or a proposal and so
on and in that case you'll be using Microsoft Word and then from day to day you're going to
use a messaging application in this case you'll be using Microsoft Outlook and so on so all of these
are designed to be a one solution from one company for you to meet your business needs but yet also
the data that you create an Excel or in Microsoft Access that we'll be using in this course you can
utilize it in Microsoft Word and in Outlook and you can kind of reuse that content for different
other purposes so that's the concept of a sweet hopefully it makes sense here that it's a bunch
of applications that are tightly integrated to provide you a complete solution and also
to reuse the data that you create from one into the other so for the rest of the semester we
are going to utilize microsoft office here the traditional office 2013 and understand some of
the concepts and then see how those concepts relate i'm going to teach the course from a
concepts based what I mean is from a concepts based approach is that once you understand a
concept in Microsoft Word or in office 365 or in Excel or whatever we are using you'd be able to
apply that same concept in some other office suite for some if you use Google Apps for work or if you
use openoffice and so on an alternative to office 365 is also Google Apps for work until recently
those referred to as Google Apps just simply Google Apps the way it works is basically you
get your email you get your google sheets like similar to spreadsheet software you get google
presenter which is similar to the presentation software powerpoint in office and you get all
of those for a business environment highly collaborative meaning other coworkers you can
change the document at the same time with other coworkers and so on and you can get that for five
dollars a month per user per month and this is the typical one here on the left-hand side and
of course you'd get also the email as well and then ten dollars a month this is what unlimited
storage plus the vault which is basically the backup of the all the content on google systems
so that's an alternative for you to consider now for Google Apps for Education you have access to
this by simply going to your care and gmail and Karen calendar and care now sheets and
so on and you have access to that and recently actually google announced the unlimited storage
for education on google drive as well so that's something else to consider too if any of those
solutions do not work then there is also open source solutions for productivity applications
such as open office from openoffice.org and openoffice it gives you pretty much similar
like it gives you the office writer calc impress draw and base which is very similar counterparts
to microsoft office so you can download that from openoffice.org the other choice is libre office
and again LibreOffice it's very similar to openoffice I personally like LibreOffice a
little bit more it's a little bit more refined it seems like but it's free and
it's a good alternative to using it so in a as you start your business as a start
work in a business environment of your own where you're cautious of expenses
and annual subscription costs and so on these are some of the options to consider
