Facebook has reportedly signed a partnership with Microsoft’s Office 365, including mail and calendar services.
At the Worldwide Partner Conference held on July 12, 2016, Facebook’s CIO Tim Campos confirmed that the social-networking giant is Microsoft Office 365’s customer.
Campos told Worldwide Partner Conference attendees that Facebook was assured of Office 365 platform, and found the Office 365’s security capabilities appealing for the company.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Facebook is planning to deploy some portion of Microsoft’s Office 365, a tool to enhance workplace productivity, for its employees.
‘Facebook’s policy is to allow its 13,000 employees to use what makes sense for them on the collaboration-front and support their use of products,’ Campos told at the conference.
He also confirmed that Facebook will not use Yammer or Skype for its businesses, which compete directly with Facebook’s own services.
In addition, Facebook is developing its own “Facebook at Work” service which employees will use within the company’s network system.
