Understanding Microsoft 365 Services
Microsoft 365, often referred to as the 'new 365', is a comprehensive suite of productivity tools and cloud-based services designed to boost collaboration, communication, and efficiency within businesses. It includes familiar applications like Microsoft Office Business Standard and introduces powerful cloud-based services, such as SharePoint Online. This cloud-based service is a cornerstone of Microsoft 365, offering secure data storage, sharing, and seamless collaboration, which are essential for modern businesses.
Microsoft 365 enables real-time collaboration, allowing team members to work together, regardless of their location. With tools like Microsoft Teams, employees can engage in virtual meetings, share documents, and communicate seamlessly. Your IT support can facilitate the implementation of these tools, ensuring a smooth transition to a more collaborative work environment.
SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service that acts as a central hub for document management and team collaboration. It enables businesses to store, organise, and share critical documents securely. This reduces the risk of data loss and simplifies access control. Mason Infotech can configure and manage SharePoint Online to tailor it to your business's unique needs.
