But it is undeniable that the usefulness of this specific application goes much further, hence its enormous success around the globe. In addition, it cannot be said that it is a precisely new software solution, but that it has already been a good number of years among us accumulating experience.

Students will have a cheap subscription to Microsoft 365
Microsoft’s Office suite is known to all, and in recent years how the same has happened with its subscription version previously known as office 365. This is a very interesting modality for all those who do not want to have an Office license forever and pay a monthly or annual fee. As we mentioned, this is a very interesting modality for certain sectors, for example, for those directly related to education.
To give us an idea, the Redmond firm will add to the existing ones a new subscription plan for Microsoft 365 at $ 38 per device valid for six years. In this way, the education sector will have much more affordable access to the powerful productivity suite so widely used in all types of environments.

These are part of the technologies on which the web is based.
