14 DAY TRIAL // is gaining more and more customers, and three new companies have now joined the ranks, namely JetBlue, the American Heart Association, and Patagonia.
With Office 365 chosen to serve as their productivity service of the future, these companies are now part of a group of over 40 percent of the Interbrand Top 100 global brands that take advantage of Microsoft’s suite.
“These new Office 365 customers are some of the latest companies to join the likes of Campbell Soup Company, Marie Claire, Roush Enterprises, Hersing Corp, UL (formerly Underwriters Labs), and Wunderman in recently choosing Office 365 to power collaboration for their workers,” Microsoft notes.
“With customers like these, it’s no wonder Office 365 is on track to be one of the fastest growing offers in Microsoft’s history.”
The Redmond-based software giant also underlines the fact that its Office 365 enjoys a diversified customer base. Airlines and global consumer companies are on that list, along with a variety of small businesses.
Microsoft notes that over 90 percent of their Office 365 customers have less than 50 employees. This shows that the productivity suite can fit the needs of any business.
“Each customer is unique, different in size, mission, and industry, yet all have a common technology mission—to foster greater collaboration and communication, enhance productivity, and realize the efficiencies associated with the cloud,” Microsoft notes.
Patagonia is a leading provider of outdoor gear and plans on using Office 365 for real-time communications and decision making across the organization.
The company forecasts savings of $300,000 in future upgrades and improvements, along with $15,000 a year through moving to the cloud-based e-mail system included in Office 365.
The productivity quote is also expected to enable the company’s employees to benefit from the flexibility of working from their homes, which will reduce their carbon footprint.
“We want to thank our customers and the thousands of others who have helped make the last six months a great start for Office 365,” Microsoft also notes.
