For a business in the present day, the productivity of its workforce revolves around a basic office suite. However, this is not enough for the modern workforce, as they come with a new desire for a different way of working… a way that is more mobile. Microsoft recognised this and updated Office 365 to enable users to conduct work from almost anywhere, on a wide variety of devices, from computers to smartphones and tablets.
Office 365 is the obvious choice for many businesses large or small and is the suite that all other competitors are measured against. It is estimated that there are now over 155 million active users of O365. By combining the basic and familiar productivity applications necessary to get work done, as well as a range of additional apps that sit around the edge, your employees are empowered to do their best work. Some of the additional apps that we personally love include:
- Delve – Delve displays person content. Powered by Office Graph, it can be used to manage your Office 365 profile, as well as help you discover and organise information most interesting to you right now.
- Power BI – Power BI is a cloud-based suite of business analytic tools that connects users to a broad range of live-data. This is done through easy-to-use dashboards, interactive reports and visualisations that bring data to life.
- Sway – Sway has been designed to help employees express ideas using an interactive, web-based canvas. Whether it’s a presentation, personal story, or visual trip report, there is virtually no limit on what you can create.
With the pace of the working environment, having to keep track of installing, updating and syncing the App Suite can not only be distracting but hinder productivity. Unlike Office 2016, Office 365 does this in the background so you can spend time actually working. Therefore, you will always have the latest versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
