Office 365 is a clear choice for businesses that are ready to work more
collaboratively and efficiently. Collaborate in the cloud with Office,

devices. Deciding which cloud provider is the right choice, however, requires weighing the pros

solution. Here is how two of today’s top providers, Office 365 and Google Apps, measure up.
