Microsoft launches Office 365 in Botswana

Multinational computer Technology Corporation, Microsoft, last week launched its newest Windows operating system, Office 365, in Botswana.

Office 365 is cloud-based, which means that it can be accessed remotely. It delivers the full suite of Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook in the cloud. With this software, documents can be easily shared and edited by simply sharing them over the Internet. Users can subscribe for the applications they really need. These world-class cloud services have also been made available in six new territories across sub-Saharan Africa including Botswana, Ethiopia, Namibia, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia, bringing the total number of sub-Saharan African countries with access to the suite to 18.

Bryan Wesonga, spokesperson for Microsoft East and Southern Africa said customers in Botswana were now able to sign up for a 30-day trial to sample various versions of Office 365 including Office 365 Enterprise suites, and the new Office 365 Business, Office 365 Business Essentials as well as the Office 365 Business Premium, via the Office website. The firm would however, slap a monthly fee on the new system, as is the norm across the world.
