The goal of any business, whether big or small, is to make a profit. However, today’s hybrid work environment makes this a little more challenging. Making your business successful requires collaboration, workplace efficiency, connectivity, and streamlined productivity.

Businesses must keep up with evolving technologies to be competitive in today’s quickly changing workplace and company dynamics. Microsoft 365 is one such application suite that might assist you in growing your organization. 

Here are some benefits you can enjoy with Microsoft 365. 

Mobility

As of 2020, 93% of Canadians owned a cell phone and 66% owned a tablet. Much of the workload in today’s offices is handled by mobile devices.

Thanks to a combination of cloud computing and a comprehensive suite of mobile apps, employees can stay productive whether they’re working remotely, travelling, or on-site. Individual apps such as Word, Teams, Excel, etc., are available free on all mobile devices. 

However, depending on your company’s demands, you may need more than these simple apps to establish a fully mobile digital workplace. You can, for example, construct a PowerApps-based application that is available from any mobile device. Other programs, such as Planner, SharePoint, and OneDrive, also have mobile applications that complement each other well. 

Because of the strength of these apps, you can work to achieve your organization’s objective rather than worrying about whether or not your workforce is staying connected and productive while on the go. Each user can install Microsoft 365 applications on up to five devices, allowing them to access their Word, Excel, and other documents whenever and wherever they choose, freeing them more time to be productive.

Collaboration

Nothing is quite as frustrating as spending hours, maybe even days, on a task, submitting it, only for the client to come back with feedback that it isn’t what they required. If you’ve ever been in this position, then you know one of the major causes is a lack of good communication and collaboration.

Microsoft 365’s solution to this problem is Microsoft Planner. It lets you create a board of plans and tasks to motivate your team towards a singular goal. Microsoft Planner is also available on all devices, so no matter where you are, you can complete tasks, assign tasks, and contribute to team discussions.

SharePoint is another excellent collaborative tool included with your Microsoft 365 account. This web-based platform lets you and your team collaborate on documents concurrently in a secure environment, allowing you to see other people’s work in real-time and synchronizing your team’s brains and outputs as if you were together.

Security

In 2018, 90 percent of financial institutions said they were targeted by malware.

Microsoft 365 completely secures the files in your device using the latest security measures such as two-factor authentication. Security threats are recognized and eliminated instantly using threat detection and anti-malware, which is especially crucial for organizations dealing with confidential information or data. When you use Microsoft 365, you can run your business without worrying about security.

The Business Premium plan on Microsoft 365 offers protection against various cybersecurity threats such as ransomware and phishing. It also helps protect your worker’s identity and secure data on personal devices. In addition, Microsoft 365 comes with its own Defender, Windows professional upgrade rights, Intune, Azure Active Directory, etc. Plus, rather than trying to get various point solutions to function together, you get a holistic solution built to operate well together.

Productivity

Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based service that includes online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote, meaning you can create, edit, and collaborate on documents from anywhere without any additional software.

Word and Excel are not the only apps available to you on Microsoft 365. You can also find personalized products ideally suited to your business needs. Microsoft Invoicing, for example, automates and simplifies a time-consuming administrative chore by creating customized invoices and estimates that match your company’s logo. In addition, MileIQ, a new automated program, provides mileage tracking and complete trip reports, allowing you to keep track of your business travel expenses.

Support

Microsoft experts are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help you with your questions. From pre-purchase information to any technical assistance, you may require while using Microsoft 365, their personnel is always available through phone or email.

Cloud Service Providers from across the country support Microsoft 365. This makes it possible to provide better — and faster — tailored service in your area. This means you’ll have less downtime and more time, increasing the company’s productivity.

Conclusion

If your Toronto or Calgary business is searching for a solution that boosts company productivity, improves overall performance, and is simple to scale, Microsoft 365 is the way to go.
