How Integrated is MS Office on Windows Phone?

[mikeyyyownz]

This may be a stupid question, as I'm sure it is integrated quite a bit.

I have a Lumia 2520 tablet and will be getting the Lumia Icon this Thursday. I'm coming from Android.

My question is for my job, I basically live on Excel and Outlook. Will the functionality be better for Outlook and it's Calendars and all of that on WP8?

I know the speed will be there, and I can deal with 3rd party apps, but I really want an integrated experience from my phone, tablet, and computer (Windows of course). Plus I have an Xbox One.

Does it have a calendar feature for my Outlook calendar and my Gmail (personal email) calendar? Do I need to get an Office 365 subscription - would that be best?

Thanks in advance.

Exchange emails may want you to have bitlocker policies otherwise it sync emails and calendars fine. They sync to phone too. Your docs saved on Skydrive will go with you on tablet and phone instantly. So will you Xbox Music pass and game scores. A harmony.
