What Microsoft 365 Can Do For You

Learn More

Accessibility

Microsoft 365 lets you carry your office wherever you go. Your emails, calendars, and documents are now as mobile as you are, ready on any device. And, cloud-based files allow for real-time collaboration, creating a super-efficient collaborative environment for both office and remote workers.

Productivity

Office 365 offers a suite of productivity tools including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. These powerful applications are now enhanced with AI and cloud capabilities, streamlining tasks and creating a productive work environment for your teams, no matter where they are. It's never been easier to get work done.

Communication

Enhanced communication is a key benefit of Microsoft 365. Tools like Teams integrate chat, video calls, and meetings, connecting employees very efficiently. This unified communication system built around M365 simplifies interactions, making it easier for small businesses to stay connected with customers and employees.

Affordability

Microsoft 365 saves on expensive hardware and software maintenance. The subscription model includes updates and support, reducing overall IT costs and making budgeting a breeze. For small businesses, this means a lower total cost of ownership and a better allocation of resources, not to mention savings in efficiency.

Security

Security is paramount in Microsoft 365, with built-in features like threat detection and anti-malware. This robust security framework protects sensitive data, giving small businesses peace of mind that their information is safeguarded against general cyber attacks and threats.

Scalability

With Microsoft 365, small businesses can easily scale their operations up, down and sideways. As your business grows, you can add more users or services without significant upfront costs or big commitments. This pay-as-you-go model ensures you only pay for what you need.

Keep In Mind

Subscription Costs

The license fees can add up, especially for larger organisations, so keep an eye on who needs what kind of license to protect your budget. 

Internet Dependent

No internet means no access to your files in Microsoft 365. If this is a problem, you need to ensure you're running the best internet available, with failover option.

Learning Curve

It's a feature-rich platform, and that means some users might need time and/or training to get fully acquainted. Adding new features progressively will help.

Data Management

Cloud security is great, but it also means you should be cautious with data handling. Avoid storing sensitive data in the cloud, unless you are certain it is well-protected.

Limited Customisation

While Microsoft 365 offers versatility, undertaking certain customisations can be difficult, or even impossible, so aome adjustments may be needed to accomodate this deficiency.

Limited Support

While Microsoft does provides support, they can be slow, and resolving complex issues may require additional external IT support from a group such as 1300 INTECH, adding to costs.
