What is Office 365?
Office 365 – which is also know as Microsoft 365 – is a cloud-based suite of tools that allows all your employees to access files, programs and applications that are on your office-based computers on any other devices.
It is licensed on a subscription basis, making it ideal for small and medium-sized businesses by delivering software and technical services that could otherwise be cost-prohibitive and hard for businesses to manage on site.
There is a range of suites to meet every business requirement and budget, giving you the flexibility to scale up or down as required.
What’s available with Office 365?
You’ll have all the latest Office applications which are updated automatically:
- Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- Outlook
- OneNote
- Access
- Publisher
As well as secure cloud services:
- MicrosoftTeams
- MicrosoftExchange
- MicrosoftOneDrive
- MicrosoftSharePoint
You will also benefit from business-grade email, shared calendars, online meetings and have access to Skype for Business where you can make and receive calls and give presentations. Office 365 has a guaranteed 99.9% uptime.
What’s a business grade email?
For cost reasons, emerging businesses very often make use of a free email service. While this is fine to begin with, a dedicated business email solution like Microsoft’s Exchange Online is a big step up for efficiency and has a more professional feel – and it doesn’t have to blow your budget.
Integration with Outlook means the email experience will be familiar, yet greatly enhanced with:
- Custom email addresses
- Cloud storage space – no more full inboxes or data loss
- Tools to enable collaboration
- Easy accessibility from any device, anywhere
- Anti-malware and anti-spam filtering – advanced protection against viruses, spam and phishing attacks, monitored 24/7
- No ads
Why is using Outlook better than a free email service?
Of course, there are the added features, but the main benefit is the support. What would happen if your free email service went down? Microsoft Exchange Online takes away this worry with spare servers so your business can carry on while the problem is sorted.
Exchange Online allows you to operate your business, safe in the knowledge your email system is handled and looks professional, and your data is backed up, accessible and protected from people with malicious intent.
What about Office 365 security?
Security breaches for small businesses mainly result from out-of-date software and loss of a device or data through damage, theft, or human error, and it can be extremely costly for your business and your reputation.
Office 365 mitigates the effects of such disasters.
You have 1 TB of business storage space on OneDrive, so if you drop your phone in the bath or leave your laptop on the bus, you can still access your files from any other device. You also benefit from Microsoft’s own compliance and security capabilities, which are bigger and better than anything your business could ever run to.
