We have talked about how Microsoft 365 is more than just email. Data protection solutions, cybersecurity, and how to avoid cybersecurity threats have all been hot IT topics in New Zealand the last few months.
However, it seems as if a lot of us who either have it or are considering it may not realise the full value. We thought we would make a plain and simple list to help. That way you can either become curious about other benefits or make a clear decision about whether it’s best for you to upgrade to Microsoft 365.
Simple IT Security Solution
Microsoft’s 365 has extremely robust security protocols. Not only does it have built-in malware and spam protection it can help make sure your file and information are safe too. Using Microsoft DLP, you can tailor permissions and build-in protocols to prevent the unintentional or accidental sharing of sensitive information.
Lots of Data Space Available
Each user gets 1TB of cloud space for file storage, which can be shared at a folder or file level. That is no small feat! Forget the days of ‘user mailbox is full’ – each user is given a whopping 50GB in an easy-to-use mailbox.
With this much space, it is easy to set up a cloud copy of files in your Documents, Pictures, and desktop in case you have problems with your PC
Remote Work
Previously, staff needed to establish a VPN or manage security concerns which made working off-site difficult and cumbersome. Microsoft 365 has solved that problem and working from anywhere is now easy. SharePoint and OneDrive makes Business files available from anywhere while allowing you to control and securely manage access to these files
Integrated and Collaborative
Calendar, email, and contacts are all synced and updated across multiple devices: Laptop, desktop & mobile. Schedule tasks, meetings and track allocations from a top-down level to know exactly how projects are progressing. Real-time co-authoring allowing you and your trusted peers to work on the same file at the same time.
There are collaboration tools, and virtual meeting options, built into one platform. No need for the third party, and additional monthly payments for each tool!
It doesn’t cost the earth
Once upon a time, updating your Office version meant paying a small fortune and half a day of downtime. Microsoft 365 changes that, with no installation delay.
