`Microsoft Office 365 is Being Adopted and Used at an
`Enormous Rate
`04/08/2019
`
`Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, Microsoft has regained the ground it lost to other tech
`giants in previous years and is set to capture even more attention and market share in the
`years to come.
`
`One of the keys to Microsoft's success has been the steadily rising adoption of its Ofce 365
`subscription service - including the widely used Ofce 365.  
`
`(All statistics courtesy of Gartner, unless otherwise sited.)
`
`Here are 2 recent statistics that give insight into where Ofce 365 is going:
`
`1. 1 in 5 corporate employees now use an Ofce 365 cloud service.
`2. Ofce 365 is the most widely used cloud service by user count.

`Adoption of Office 365 by industry
`
`In addition to the special Ofce 365 licenses extended to education and government
`organizations, there are many industries nding Ofce 365 to be the best productivity and
`cloud solution available.

`
`At the moment, the nancial services industry has the highest rate of usage. This makes sense,
`since traditionally, nancial rms have been quick to adopt new technology and are also heavy
`users of Ofce apps like Excel. Microsoft's focus on making its cloud services meet FISC and
`GDPR data protection requirements also make Ofce 365 a natural choice for an industry that
`regularly deals in the transaction of sensitive data.
`
`Second only to nancial services, the manufacturing industry has migrated to using Ofce 365
`and especially the OneDrive app for cloud storage at a rate of over 26% of its users.
`
`Initially slower to adopt, the healthcare industry has seen an uptick of recent usage, partly due
`to Microsoft creating an in-house team specically tasked with serving their needs. Microsoft
`held a Healthcare & Life Sciences Virtual Conference last January and have ensured that
`Teams has the HIPAA compliance and features healthcare groups need to make that platform
`their default communication tool.
`
`In the legal eld, The American Bar Association recently published an article touting the
`benets of Ofce 365 for legal rms - which highlighted specic legal use cases for Ofce 365

`
`According to Bitglass, usage of Ofce 365 globally in 2016 was around 34%. That number
`grew to 56% by Q3 of last year.

`This means Ofce 365 users now make up over half of the 81% of total organizations who
`have made the shift to cloud services.
`
`Compare that with the relatively stagnant growth of Google's G Suite since since 2016.
`
`A few more stats compiled from Microsoft and DMR
`
`1. There are now over 155 million Ofce 365 business users (2018).
`2. Outlook mobile app users reached 90 million in 2017.
`3. Microsoft ofce has been downloaded on Android over 1 billion times (2018).
`4. Ofce 365 made its Mac App Store debut in January of this year (2019).
`5. There are now 500,000 businesses using Microsoft Teams, including 91% of the Fortune
`100 (2019).
`
`What does this mean for SMB's?
`
`On one hand, the future looks bright. With Windows 10 and Ofce 365 subscriptions that have
`been shown to bring a positive ROI within 13 months of investment, there are plenty of
`licenses and options to suit any business.
`
`The workforce will continue to trend towards a "work from anywhere on any device" model
`and small to mid-sized businesses who don't invest in a proven cloud service solution now run
