Cloud computing is building the mid-size to large enterprises of today.
Part of the movement to the cloud is driven by the clear advantages offered to businesses of all sizes by Microsoft’s cloud-based office productivity software, Office 365. Migrations to Office 365 have provided business leaders and their employees with the ability work from anywhere in the world, at any time, and on any device.
Productivity has never been simpler!
Along with the traditional Microsoft Office suite of applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, Office 365 offers Outlook – one of the most flexible and powerful email management solutions out there. Outlook is a versatile alternative to traditional on-premise email solutions such as Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Notes.
You likely already know that Office 365 includes:
- Email services from the Microsoft Office 365 Hosted Exchange Service
Microsoft’s Hosted Exchange 2016 boasts a smarter inbox to help you sort email, a simplified architecture, security/compliance attributes in conjunction with enhanced collaboration and mobile productivity functionality,
- Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft SharePoint is a document management and collaboration system that is browser-based. It enables your company to set up secure spaces for document sharing.
- Microsoft Lync
Microsoft Lync is an instant messaging application similar to Google Talk or MSN Messenger. It is used to send text-based messages, voice, and video. Microsoft has now re-branded Lync as Skype for Business.
- Microsoft Office Professional
Office 365 Professional includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access.
What you may not know is that the KalioTek team can help you become even more productive with Office 365 by optimizing it to your workflow and integrating its functionality into other applications that you have in use.
Is Microsoft Office 365 right for your business?
