A great advantage of Office 365 is the ability to work from anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. This is because it's entirely cloud-based and you can access your email, files and Office programs (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) from any location and from any device. For plans that includes desktop versions of the Office Suite, they can be installed on up to 5 devices per user.
This is advantageous for companies with multiple locations, remote employees or employees often on the road.
You also have the ability to work offline and syncronise when an internet connection is next available.
Team working is simplified by using the collaborative features of Office 365. You can avoid duplication of documents and the need to send them as attachments.
For example, members of the team who need to contribute to a Word document (or Excel spreadsheet or Powerpoint presentation), can work on a single shared copy and receive real-time changes from other team members, rather than having multiple copies that need to be consolidated.
Version Control for the files is automatic and allows the ability to revert to any previous version.
Stay up to date with the latest version of the Office Suite of programs at no extra charge. You'll always automatically get the latest available features offered by Microsoft.
One of the biggest misconceptions about cloud-based systems is that it's not safe. However, Office 365 has extensive built in security features to keep your business data safe - it isn't necessarily any less secure than an on-site server system.
It really is as secure as you make it.
