Benefits of using Office 365

Office 365 is a popular all-in-one hosted email and Microsoft Office licensing solutions available to both home and business users. It enables users to access Microsoft Office easily & remotely as well as tools for sharing, collaboration and email. Here we have put together just some of the benefits to using Office 365 in your business.

Coordination with Microsoft Office
Office 365 works seamlessly with well known and popular Microsoft programs including Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and Publisher. These applications are able to be accessed on up to 5 devices, including Apple iPads. In addition to this, the Microsoft Office applications can also be accessed from your internet browser (Chrome, Firebox, Internet Explorer, Safari etc). There are various subscriptions available with just some of the functions including synchronising documents with your desktop, broadcasting PowerPoint presentations and seeing when others other editing your document.

Collaboration
The above features are fantastic for companies which have multiple employees working on one project. Edits can be made to a document, with multiple people working on one document at the same time with real-time changes, as apposed to having multiple versions sent around. There is also the ability to go back to old versions of documents.

Manage email accounts
If you're an Office 365 admin, you'll be able to create email addresses, aliases, distribution lists, shared mailboxes & reset passwords from one web console.

Access anytime, anywhere
Office 365 allows for web-enabled access to email, documents, contacts and calendars on almost all devices including iPhones, Android Phones, Blackberry phones, PCs and Apple devices. This allows you and your employees to work remotely, almost anywhere in the world. Office 365 helps you view and edit documents on devices which do not have Microsoft Office installed. This is especially helpful to companies with remote workers or employees who need to travel often.

Security
With Office 365, you are able to use the same systems used by many enterprises including Microsoft to help protect email, documents and networks. These systems scan all your messages and documents for spam and malware software 24/7. Office 365 documents are also accessed through encryption, so that if intercepted by an unauthorised person, they will be unable to read it.
