New Suit of Office Business apps are leaked

Microsoft watcher Walking cat leaked an unreleased  webpage which contain a new suit of Business productivity apps developed by Office team for small businesses. The apps include MileIQ (product which Microsoft acquired) and already announced Bookings.



Let me go one by one

MileIQ
  • Mileage tracking app Microsoft acquired some time back.
  • Got a new logo
Bookings
  • Appointment booking app Microsoft announced. 
  • Got a cool new logo.
Invoice
  • Invoice creation app.
  • Details are not available
Spend
  • Expense and bill tracking app.
  • No details available (marked as coming Soon)
Point
Presence
  • App for tracking your 
  • No details available (marked as coming Soon)
These apps are available along with Office 365 business premium now. A lot of things are there to discuss about this. Let me list them as points
  • I was curious what was the plan with Mile IQ. It got acquired in 2015. but this much loved app didn't come to main stream till now.
  • I was doubtful about Bookings. I didn't see any value in that along with productivity collaboration and communication apps.Now with a suit of business apps it make sense.
  • These apps are not selling along with Dynamics 365 business edition which include financials, sales and service. Instead it is selling along with Office 365.
  • Developed by Office team. Not by the Business process team in Server & Cloud.
  • We expect mobile apps for these soon and may be these suite itself will get announced in November Office event
  • Last but not least , Logos of these apps are damn good. :)
