Microsoft Office 365 unlocks a lot of benefits. These benefits include improved communication, automatic upgrades, secure files, and more. Here we will cover some of those in this article.
1. Improved Communication
Office 365 gives users options to keep communication centralized across different programs. Teams provides an instant messaging function where comments can be added and files uploaded at the same time, which is useful for cross-department collaboration and when co-authoring documents. If you wanted, you can even tag people on Outlook or Teams when addressing them directly.
2. Access Files Remotely
Office 365 allows your organization to store all the files in the cloud. This means they can be accessed on any device, from any location with an internet connection. For organization where mobile working is essential, being able to access all the apps and files you need when out of the office is invaluable.
3. Secure Cloud Storage
Office 365 is a totally secure environment with robust security measures in place, like two-factor authentication, which ensures unauthorised people can’t access your files if they happen to get on your device. Threat detection and anti-malware means security threats are identified and stopped immediately, which is particularly important for organisations that deal with confidential data or information. Using Office 365 means your business is free to operate without any concerns for security.
4. Auto Updates
All the essential apps such as Word, Excel and Outlook are included and work online without the need to install any software. Upgrades are performed automatically at predetermined intervals, so you don’t have to worry about being on the latest version; that will happen automatically. The expense of buying new software is also eradicated as updates are included in the subscription for your Office 365 licenses.
5. Keep Your Business Going
With files saved in the cloud and regularly backed up, your organization continue to operate as normal in the case of a natural disaster at the office. No matter what happens to your devices, your email, files and data are safely in the cloud. Exchange also has recovery features which mean individual emails or even inboxes can be restored if you wanted to. No matter the situation, it can be business as usual if you’re using Microsoft Office 365.
