Have the Office applications on our desktops vanished? No, they have not. At SAS, we recently experienced this transition ourselves. They can use the full version of Excel, PowerPoint, Word, etc., and they also have access to these same tools via a web browser. The bottom line is that most users of a "365" package in the cloud, also have access to the Microsoft Office tools on their Windows desktop. Microsoft has used different names for these similar offerings: Office 2016, Office 365, Microsoft 365, Office Online. With many organizations adopting Microsoft Office 365 - the "cloud" version of Office - what does this mean for other processes that integrate with Microsoft Office applications?

In her role as Product Manager for SAS Platform Technologies ( including the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office), my colleague Amy Peters hears this question often.
