Microsoft 365 is a great all-rounder. Find out about the resources available to you.

Microsoft 365 tools like opening a presentation, initiating a call, adding data to a spreadsheet or creating a document are probably on your daily to-do list. In the past, each of these functions required its own software, taking up a lot of disk space and straining your resources.

Today we have the incredible cloud, which allows applications like Microsoft 365 to take the load off our servers and improve the way we work.
Are you considering the introduction of Microsoft 365 in your company? If so, now is the time to refresh your knowledge before making a decision.

Properties

Microsoft 365 is used by more than one million companies worldwide, and for good reason: because they benefit from all the advantages of the suite. These include:
• Cloud storage and sharing via OneDrive for simplified collaboration.
• Access to all the tools needed for business growth, including email, word processing, automation and more.
• Advanced security, including ransomware detection, two-step verification and more.
• A subscription-based service model ideal for businesses of all sizes.
• Simplified, cloud-based communication and collaboration tools for remote workers.
Microsoft 365 not only includes the well-known and popular Office tools such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, but also offers additional tools such as Teams and OneDrive.
With Business subscriptions, subscribers also have access to useful tools such as Microsoft Bookings (for scheduling) and Microsoft Power Apps (for building low-code business apps).

Layers of Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is available for private and business customers. For businesses, there are four subscription levels: Business Basic, Apps for Business, Business Standard and Business Premium. Whether you are an SME or an international company, there is a subscription to suit your needs.
All business plans come standard with web and mobile versions of Office applications, email and calendar, file storage, built-in security and support.

Checklist

When you choose Microsoft 365, the deployment process requires time and care to achieve the best results. This is especially true for deployment to Macs.
Planning the deployment process can help you avoid end-user frustration and get your new tools up and running quickly.

There are many tasks to do during the deployment. First, you need to ensure that the Microsoft 365 subscription account is up to date and that each user has an activated account.

You also need to set permissions and settings for Mac-specific apps. To make sure you don't overlook any steps in this process, we've put together this checklist.
GTC's

After implementing Microsoft 365, you will want to establish the policies and behaviours that members of your organisation should follow when using these services. This is the only way to protect your organisation's critical systems, applications and data from unauthorised and potentially dangerous access.
