Remember back in grade school, you learned about how all rectangles are squares but not all... wait, no, all squares are rectangles but not all... Anyway, the point is sometimes things are difficult to understand.

Here at PTG, we pride ourselves on unscrambling the proverbial egg. Understanding the differences between Microsoft 365, Office 365, and Office 2021 is a proverbial egg we can unscramble!

Businesses across the nation are trying to navigate what things will look like for their communications in the “new normal.” One thing is for sure, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology is here to stay.
