In 2020 Microsoft renamed its Office 365 suite to Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 provides support for distributed teams of workers with desktop and cloud-based apps that enable and improve productivity through communication and collaboration.
Superseding the popular Office 365, Microsoft 365 combines popular apps like Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel with the Teams online communication and collaboration tool (chat, messaging and calls), offering scalable plans for all sizes and shapes of organisation.
Document sharing and co-authoring are enabled via OneDrive and SharePoint, while Outlook mailboxes and calendar are handled by the included Microsoft Exchange Online email solution.
Microsoft 365 can evolve easily with your business with no impact on performance, so all your team members continue to be productive and connected wherever they are.
An app for everything
The Microsoft 365 family includes many applications ranging from major cloud systems to licences for the Microsoft Office apps you run on your computer. The main components include:
A complete cloud based email solution with low monthly costs
Chat, meet, call and collaborate anytime, anywhere
Store and share documents and other data across teams and the whole organisation, available anywhere on any device
Store and share your work files, available anywhere on any device
There are many more but the features above are the starting point for smarter, more efficient working.
However, there are smarter tools available from Microsoft if you’re looking to manage and optimise your organisation, and we are here to you find the best solutions for your business:
Managing costs with careful assessment of needs
As a leading provider of Microsoft 365 in Hertfordshire, Alliance Solutions can audit your current Microsoft 365 licenses and configuration to ensure best fit for your business. This can often mean that by fine tuning the subscription licences you use, you can save money. In addition, many organisations are already paying for features they don’t know they have. This means that often smarter working does not equate to higher subscription costs. The best starting point is to request an audit to find out what you are paying for and what you are using.
Minimal effort and minimal disruption
We are experts in moving businesses over to Microsoft 365 and have helped organisations of all sizes throughout Hertfordshire and the UK. If you are deploying Microsoft 365 for the first time, we’ll assess your needs, design your ideal solution and ensure that you only subscribe to the Microsoft 365 products that you need.
We then migrate your users with a minimum of effort required on your part. This is normally achieved with little or no impact on users apart from, of course, the new features available to them.
