Considering Office 365? 11 compelling reasons to make the change
Microsoft Office 365 has transformed the way businesses work. From improved productivity, collaboration and communication to secure information sharing between teams and departments, Office 365 brings the tech we're used to at home into the workplace for a better user experience.
We've been working from home for almost a year now, and it's become clear to many organisations that the technology we use at home far outperforms what we use in the workplace. Think about how much cloud-based technology we use in our personal lives - emails, video calling, gaming, home-automation, shopping, phone apps and more - it all just works. Surely we should get the same from our business tech, too?
With Microsoft Office 365, you get the best of both worlds. This cloud-based suite of software and applications has transformed the way we work, providing greater flexibility, enhanced user-experience when working remotely, and increased productivity that fits in with how we work today - and in the future.
Improved productivity
1. Communication simplified
Chat, calls and meetings become easier with Teams. Bring your remote colleagues together with an online meeting, stay in touch via chat or make a phone call and choose voice or video.
2. Sharing made easier
Share important files via SharePoint and OneDrive and control who has access - everyone in your organisation, a specific team or just a select few individuals.
3. Collaboration made simpler
Allow multiple team members to collaborate in real-time on a single document, and with version control it's easy to revert back to a previous edit.
4. Synchronise across devices
Files, apps, emails and calendar events are available across all your devices, so you can switch seamlessly from one to the other and pick up where you left off.
Better security
5. Security built in
Protect your business against cyberattacks with built in security tools to defend against phishing attempts, viruses and malware, ransomware and other threats to your business data.
6. Access control
Control access to your systems and prevent unwanted intrusions from cybercriminals, so you and your customers can be confident that your data is protected to the highest security standards.
7. Protect your data
Keep your data safe, even if your teams are using personal devices for work.
8. Easy device management
Set up identity and access management easily, and manage your devices and data remotely.
Cost Savings
9. All your tools at your fingertips
Consolidate your apps across your organisation, so everyone has the tools they need.
10. No more upgrades, updates or patching
Remove the need to upgrade and update your software - Office 365 will always be the latest version, always be up to date and always be protected by the latest security protocols.
11. Reduce overheads
As a subscription-based software suite, with licensing options available to suit your business needs, getting your organisation onto Office 365 saves on costs, time and resources.
