Learn more about Office 365’s benefits in this blog.
What Is O365?
Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription-based, cloud-powered productivity platform that allows companies to access Microsoft’s full suite of applications virtually. This robust software includes the programs commonly used by businesses, including:
- Word
- PowerPoint
- Excel
- Outlook
- Teams
- OneDrive
- And more
Leveraging O365 allows staff members to access and manage files remotely and lets businesses meet the needs of the modern workforce.
What Are the Benefits of Office 365?
Many owners of small to medium-sized businesses may feel satisfied with their existing Microsoft Office software environment. However, those applications aren’t cloud-based and limit employees to working on the desktop or laptop they’re downloaded to. Migrating your infrastructure to Office 365 offers the following benefits:
Increased ROI
One of the most important considerations for any business owner when considering an investment is their expected return on investment. According to a Forrester’s study, companies that integrate Microsoft 365 into their operations have experienced a more than 150% ROI.
Improved Flexibility
Implementing processes that meet the needs of the modern workforce is vital for attracting and retaining top talent. Office 365 allows businesses to let their employees work virtually anywhere because it’s based in a cloud environment. Being able to access and edit documents in any location enhances collaboration and flexibility for everyone involved.
Maximized Collaboration
Traditional file-sharing processes require sending the same file via email between individuals and carefully making changes without deleting previous work. Office 365 increases collaboration by allowing multiple staff members to simultaneously access a document and edit at the same time.
Enhanced Offerings
Along with the well-known applications included in Office 365, it also gives companies access to various other tools that help enhance operations, including:
- SharePoint: An online portal that allows businesses to easily share news and collaborate on files and documents.
- Power BI: An intelligence tool that provides key insight and helps businesses make educated decisions.
- Yammer: A social network collaboration tool that helps employees connect across an entire company.
Increased Security
Companies that have private data included in their documents need the right cybersecurity solutions to prevent unauthorized access. Office 365 increases security with the following tools:
- Message encryption: This allows employees to send encrypted emails that keeps access to the file to the sender and receiver.
- Threat analytics: The techniques used by cyberattackers are evolving. Office 365 offers advanced threat analytics that allow you to detect and respond to threats quickly.
- Endpoint management: Office 365 allows you to manage the security policies and view device reports. It also lets you remotely wipe data in the event an employee misplaces their phone or tablet.
- Data loss prevention: Few things impact a company’s productivity more than losing vital data. With Microsoft Office 365, you monitor and protect the essential information and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.
