Just as we’re focused on continuous innovation to expand and improve Office 365 capabilities, we’re also committed to making it easier for more people to benefit from our cloud productivity suite.

Just this week, we made it easier for small to midsized businesses (SMBs) to move to Office 365 and give their employees the ability to access team files from anywhere, collaborate in real-time from any device and get enterprise-grade security to help protect their information. Customers with 50 to 149 seats of Office 365 enterprise and small-business plans can now take advantage of our customer success service, Microsoft FastTrack, which provides resources and dedicated engineers to help them, or the Microsoft Partner they work with, implement Office 365. Previously, FastTrack was available only to organizations with 150 seats or more.

At the same time, we continue to make Office 365 more valuable. One of the most interesting new enhancements is the announcement this week that we are activating Yammer for every eligible Office 365 tenant, without requiring admins to take any additional action. Making Yammer available in Office 365 will enable all Office 365 customers to gain the full benefits of Yammer, unlock new experiences for users across all of their productivity apps and create the foundation for a new era of innovation.

We’re also improving productivity and making the service easier to use. Another recent enhancement is the Office 365 Video solution. It’s now possible to embed videos in Office 365, in-line and in-context, wherever people work on projects, both online and on-premises. You can embed videos within SharePoint Team Sites, custom company portals, internal blogs, wikis and more. It’s simple: just copy, paste and publish.
