Microsoft’s Office suite is probably one of the most well-known software suites on the market. Word, Excel and PowerPoint have become mainstays in our day-to-day use of computers, especially in the workplace – even down to the point that the phrase “a PowerPoint” is now commonly used to refer to a presentation.
Microsoft’s Office suite is really the global standard software for productivity, with fully-featured, well-made and easy-to-use software that’s been honed and developed upon since 1983.

Microsoft Office is the firmly-established leader in its field in terms of features, ease of use and functionality.
