Benefits of Microsoft 365 for Business
-
Scalability
Microsoft 365 gives you flexibility to scale your business quickly as it can grow with you. Businesses have the ability to mix and match apps to create their own custom solution for each user or department, and it’s easy to add or remove users by simply adding or eliminating licenses.
-
Work Anywhere
One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft 365 is the ability to work from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. Because it’s entirely cloud-based, you can access your email, files and Office programs (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) from any location and any device.
If your plan includes desktop versions of Office, they can be installed on up to 5 devices per user. -
Easy Collaboration
Do you have teams that work together on tasks, documents or presentations? Then you’ll find the collaboration features of Office 365 super beneficial.
Everyone who needs to contribute to or edit a document (or spreadsheet, or presentation, etc), can work on the same version (and get real-time changes) rather than having multiple version floating around that have to be combined.
You can also share direct access to your files, rather than send files as attachments. This means people can make changes to one file rather than having multiple copies. Versioning is included in case you need to go to back to an older version. -
Always Have Access to the Latest Versions of Programs
With Microsoft 365, you’ll also have access to the latest versions of Office at no additional charge. You’ll get the latest and greatest features without having to uninstall and reinstall Office on everyone’s machines. In addition, Microsoft is constantly making upgrades to features across programs – you’ll get access to those, too.
-
Reduces Capital Spending
Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based service, which means you pay an annual or monthly fee per user. It eliminates the large up-front costs for new software; you’re essentially leasing vs. buying. This also moves IT costs from capital to operating expenses.
You also have the freedom to switch off services that you aren’t using to cut costs. -
Installation On Up to 5 Devices
Multi-device usage is commonplace nowadays; From using a desktop at the office, a laptop while you travel, a tablet at home, and let face it, we’re all guilty of having a smartphone by our side 24/7. The beauty of Microsoft 365 is that documents can now be accessed from any of these devices, and auto-syncing means that the most current version is always at hand.
