What Is Microsoft Office 365?
A part of the Microsoft Office product line, Office 365 offers a cloud suite of applications and services. Unlike in the past when Office applications like Outlook, Word, and Excel were run and managed locally by enterprises, Office 365 has brought all of these tools plus more under the single umbrella of the cloud-hosted solution.
Though it was established with a goal of empowering SMB employees with the collaboration tools to take pressure off of their IT staff, Office 365 has seen large scale adoption by the giant companies. The grandeur of that adoption can be gauged by the fact that in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2017, Office 365 revenue surpassed that of conventional license sales of Microsoft Office software for the first time. However, looking at the bottom line impacting benefits of Office 365, migrating to it sounds much wiser than most of the meeting room discussions.
Benefits of Office 365 Migration:
1.Reduction in Cost and Operational Time:
As Office 365 runs entirely in the cloud, migrating to the platform reduces costs, challenges, and risks for IT teams. IT managers don’t have to dedicate time and resources while managing local email servers or network drives. Employees only need to access Office 365 for Outlook email and OneDrive file storage, plus get instant access to all of the apps they regularly use, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
More importantly, as a cloud vendor, Microsoft takes full responsibility of ensuring the uptime of the Office 365 platform and providing support to enterprise customers. It greatly reduces the burden of your own IT personnel.
2. Advanced Tools and Apps:
The always-on-the-move philosophy of Microsoft has resulted in Office 365 which is full of all modern and mission-critical tools. Its best case in point is Yammer, which the tech giant bought for $1.2 Billion back in 2012. It’s a significant addition in the illustrious pack of Office 365 offerings, as Enterprise Social Network (ESN) is going to revolutionize how we plan our work and implement it. They are the prime facilitators of interactions, simplify the talent search and makes lengthy email chains defunct with the ability to ‘like’ posts, comment on your group’s activity and share and collaborate on files incredibly easily. Moreover, it adds to the integration benefits of Office 365 as Yammer aligns perfectly with everything else in the stack which makes the whole experience efficient and smooth.
3.Business Safety:
Office 365 is constituted by multiple security features to ensure the security of your business in the cloud premise. Office 365 applications can be accessed through SSL/TSL encryption. It nullifies the threat of information pilferage by ensuring that intercepted communications or files cannot be read by a person who has no authorization.
Similarly, Microsoft continuously monitors its systems for suspicious activity and uses a robust incident response protocol. Other security features offered by Office 365 :
● Updated antivirus signature
● Email protection from malware with anti-spam filtering and antivirus software
● Microsoft Trustworthy computing security procedures
