What is Office 365 and how does it relate to CRM Online?
Office 365 is a collection of online services designed to work together to provide enterprise-grade, anywhere access to email, files sharing, and online meetings. Office 365 includes features that allow administrators to add users, manage passwords and licenses, and much more. Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online takes advantage of the Office 365 administration features to simplify user management. CRM Online users are created and managed in the Office 365 admin center.
A CRM Online subscription doesn’t include Office 365 applications such as Exchange Online or SharePoint Online. You can significantly enhance your company’s online, collaborative experience by integrating Office 365 applications with your CRM Online subscription. However, that requires a separate purchase.
