What is Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based solution for productivity, collaboration, and IT support tailored for small, medium, and large businesses. It provides access from any internet-connected device to the Office Online suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access), as well as file-sharing applications, online conferencing, or instant messaging, through a monthly or annual license. Additionally, certain Microsoft Office 365 licenses allow the installation of desktop Office applications on up to 5 devices. The term Microsoft 365 includes Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security.
The service is delivered directly from the Microsoft Cloud platform and aims to increase employee productivity and focus on activities that bring added value to the company. Microsoft 365 integration services are provided by a specialized company that analyzes your business needs and adapts the software to the internal processes of the company.
Why Microsoft 365 Integration Services?
The suite supports companies that want to focus on the core operations of their business, saving time spent coordinating departments, teams, or clients. Office 365 eliminates the use of traditional, insecure, offline methods for working, storing, sharing, and manipulating organizational data.
Companies implementing Office 365 solutions can achieve up to a 33% increase in productivity, allowing them to focus on customer needs and minimizing the percentage of “human error” while enhancing the security level of transmitted or shared information, especially in a time when information security is crucial for any business.
Speed in business is crucial, and using Power Apps and Power Automate applications from the Microsoft 365 suite can further increase your company’s productivity by automating complex repetitive processes and information transmission flows. And if we want to talk numbers, then we can say that Microsoft 365 is used by more than 300 million users and over 80% of companies in the Forbes 500, ensuring a productivity increase of up to 30%.
A unique product, for the future of the company
1. Innovative Applications
Since the launch of Microsoft 365 in 2011, Microsoft teams have worked to create as many innovative applications as possible to make our daily office work easier, integrating corporate functionalities into every developed idea. Thus, the original applications of Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite were transferred to Microsoft 365, and every user now benefits from Exchange Server, Skype for Business, or SharePoint.
2. Information Security
Information transmitted through Office 365 applications uses Microsoft Corporation’s cloud servers, which have the highest level of data security for your information. Information storage can be done in the OneDrive for Business application, a cloud storage environment of up to 1TB for Business licenses and unlimited for Enterprise licenses, offered as part of the Microsoft 365 suite, or in SharePoint, for efficient collaboration among team members. When migrating to Microsoft 365, emails sent through this service use Microsoft Exchange Server, ensuring unbeatable security and email deliverability (SLA) of 99.9%.
3. Information Sharing
Work efficiently and securely using the SharePoint application where you can upload, share, and work with your data, along with other colleagues, collaborators, or clients, in real-time. Any changes to files/data are tracked so you have absolute control over your information. At any time, you can find out who has modified a specific file, to whom it was sent, or which colleagues have worked on it.
4. Centralized Control of Applications
Why manage each application separately when you can have everything in one place? For easy and quick access to all information related to the suite of applications, Microsoft has developed the Microsoft 365 Apps portal. This is configured at the time of purchasing Microsoft 365 licenses and is intended for managers or staff responsible for managing your teams. Thus, by accessing just one link, you can have information about all your applications, details about billing, create email accounts, restrict or reset user accounts, and much more.
