Office 365云服务已经成为微软传统Office办公套件的有力扩展。学校正在使用这些工具，比如OneDrive和OneNote使得学生和教师交流更加方便。企业用户使用云同步功能，促进更好的合作，保证信息畅通。而现在Office 365将由个人领域进军政府部门。

在美国，最新的进展是Office 365拿下了美国空军和国防部后勤署超过10万份订单，分别由微软、戴尔和美国通用来部署。

根据微软高级主管Leigh Madden的说法，这将是国防部历史上最大的商业云合同，对于美国空军和国防部、微软双方都有益。该合作将给政府下个财政年带来影响，空军可以安全使用电子邮件、日历和Office云端应用、Skype for Business和其他协作工具等。

使用Office 365更重要的是，可以为美国空军和国防部节省大量开支，满足国防部的安全级别和定制化功能。

Office 365’s cloud connected nature has seen Microsoft’s productivity suite expand to various usage scenarios beyond previous iterations of Office. Schools are utilizing tools such as OneNote and OneDrive in much broader communicative use-cases between teachers and students. Enterprise customers are using the cloud sync options to foster better collaborations while keeping the flow of information up to the minute. Office 365’s cloud first approach enables much-needed scalability for uses that range from a single person licenses to government contract deployments.

Over the past year, we’ve been reporting on the broad swath of success stories piling up at Office 365’s adoption doorstep. A recent agreement between the U.S. Air Force and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will add yet another story of Office 365 adoption and deployment to a quickly growing list. The U.S. Air Force has entered into a partnership with the DLA to award more than 100,000 seats of the Department of Defense dedicated version of Microsoft Office 365 to Microsoft, Dell and General Dynamics.

According to Microsoft senior director Leigh Madden, this agreement signals one of the largest commercial cloud contracts the DoD has issued in its history. Leigh has specialized insights into how the contract will specifically benefit the parties involved, as he heads up Microsoft’s U.S. Air Force business unit. The Department of Defense is looking to Office 365 to help the Air Force and DLA significantly reduce cost over the next three years. According to Leigh, using Office 365 is “helping the agency communicate more easily across active, civilian, and reserve personnel and move toward a consolidated mobile and messaging platform.” The contract will take effect during the next government fiscal year and will enable the Air Force access to secure email, calendaring, Office Web Applications, Skype for Business as well as other collaborative tools.

The use of Office 365 was under careful consideration and ultimately chosen as it aligns with the Air Force’s commitment to building a successful DoD Enterprise Email initiative. In addition to further encouraging the Air Forces initiative, Office 365 will also be supporting the DoD’s unique security requirements and best practices.

The recent DoD contract is yet another example of Microsoft’s cloud-first and secure Office suite meeting the ever-expanding demands of users big and small.
