Microsoft Office 365: The Most Cost Effective IT Solution for Business

At THINK Technology Australia we pride ourselves on being proactive in providing business with the best solutions for their individual requirements.

One the biggest advances in helping any sized business function efficiently has been the advent of Microsoft Office 365. It is a is a simple and cost-effective way to get a powerful range of cloud Office services as well as access to regular new features in desktop Office 2016.

Whether you’re in the office or on the go, you can still use all the familiar programs you already know such as Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint to create, edit and share documents – and all in real time.

Another significant advantage is that Office 365 gives you the ability to work from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. It provides web-enabled access to email, documents, contacts, and calendars on almost any device including PCs, Macintosh computers, iPhones, Android phones, and BlackBerry smartphones.
It has become an efficiency and productivity driver for business globally.

Better time management

People are always juggling meetings, emails and contacts – usually across multiple platforms. . When you use Office 365, email, calendar and contacts are all synchronized to work together.
For example, when you update your contacts on your mobile they are automatically updated across all your connected devices. Travel bookings scheduled in emails, or meeting and appointments are added instantly to your calendar. You can also access the same data from any device. Save a document on your PC and continue working on it on your mobile or tablet.
Everyone who needs to prepare or edit documents, spreadsheets, or presentations can work on the same version, and get real-time changes, rather than having multiple versions that have to be merged or combined.

Improved email

Microsoft Exchange Online is your email and calendaring backbone that helps you collaborate through the familiar Outlook environment. Exchange Online provides the same robust capabilities of an on-premises server without the costs and overheads of having one. User mailboxes up to 25 GB are supported, and personal archives provide more storage space. Attachments up to 25 MB are allowed. Your emails are also encrypted, which keeps anyone other than the intended recipients from reading your emails.

Better Communication

Skype for Business is part of the Office 365 suite of products. It is a unified communications platform which enables messaging, conferencing, online meetings, and collaboration.
You can host audio, video, and web conferences with anyone inside or outside your organisation in real time. Other features include scheduling assistance, note taking, desktop sharing and chat messaging.
You can send instant messages to colleagues, clients and customers and invite them to participate in online meetings. You can also share your desktop screens, documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations.

Robust Security

Office 365 was created with data security at its core. The built-in compliance and security protocols mean your cloud storage is safe, and your valuable data remains available in case of emergency.
With Office 365, you can use the same systems used by Microsoft and other enterprises worldwide to help protect email, documents, and networks. These systems scan your messages and documents for spam and any malicious software 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Microsoft data centres help safeguard your data and are certified to meet multiple industry-standard certifications

Your Individual Business Website

With these state-of-the-art but easy-to-use collaboration, mail, and messaging services, you can set yourself apart from organisations that use free or ad-supported services. A custom domain name further enhances your branding, and Office 365 includes design tools to easily create a professional, public website for your business.
