Microsoft Office Live For Dummies

From Microsoft Office Live For Dummies by Karen S. Fredricks

Microsoft Office Live is a service that provides your company with a free domain name, website, and e-mail
accounts. Additionally, Office Live offers business-management applications, such as tools for managing
customers, projects, and documents. Office Live also offers you the capability to create an intranet where you and
your colleagues can collaborate and share information online. Office Live comes in three sizes: Basics, Essentials,
and Premium.

Comparing the Three Versions of Microsoft Office Live

Microsoft Office Live offers various levels of service to subscribe to — you
have to decide which flavor of Office Live best fits your needs. Before
launching a new business or inaugurating a new software system, it's always
a good idea to sit down and determine your goals and needs.

Office Live comes in three versions: Basics, Essentials, and

Premium. They come equipped with slightly different features —
and slightly different price tags. Remember, Office Live is a
subscription service — which means you sign up to use the service
and can discontinue it at any time. Plus, you can start with any of
the subscription plans and move up — or down — to a different
plan at any time.

So what are the features you want to look for when you're deciding which
subscription level is right for you? This table will help you determine your
needs:
