Getting Started: What is FastTrack?

Most people know only about the primary purpose of FastTrack—as a support service that makes Office 365 migrations easier. FastTrack offers the most intuitive assistive approach, aimed at helping Microsoft retain its customers and catalyze more enterprise-level deployment of Office 365. The lesser understood component of FastTrack is the opportunity to work with Microsoft partners for creating customized solutions to streamline and ease workloads. This is in tune with Microsoft’s approach of gradually moving away from its software model. With Windows being offered as a service, the same strategy is being brought to Office 365. Here, users get regular software updates. This approach eases the path for Microsoft when rolling out new features or patchworks. Anticipated threats are resolved more intuitively via frequent security fixes and users can access commonly used Office offerings like Word and Excel via their browser.
