Introducing Microsoft 365
As COVID-19 continues to keep people working remotely, it is becoming increasingly important to help your team feel connected. With isolation, social distancing, and stay at home mandates, it is easy for individuals to start to feel disconnected and discouraged. Giving your team the resources to stay connected can help. Microsoft Teams can be one of those resources.
Small medium businesses (SMBs) now face new challenges that come with trying to accommodate the rise of mobile work forces and dynamic team structures. Microsoft 365 empowers employees to work from anywhere on any device, with a comprehensive solution including email, calendars, file storage, a hub for teamwork, and the familiar productivity apps companies use every day (including on-line apps such as Word and Excel).
Microsoft Teams
Not only can Teams help you continue to run your business as smoothly as possible during this challenging and uncertain time, it can also bring your team together. With features like one-on-one chats or instant group messages, colleagues can easily keep in touch—making up for the missed water cooler conversations. Meetings can also run smoothly with sharing features and chat windows so everyone can be included – with the ability to screen share, co-author documents and spreadsheets. Collaboration is also made easy on Teams where multiple people can work together on a single project.
SharePoint and OneDrive
OneDrive is essentially an online folder system for file storage, but SharePoint includes many other features such as collaboration, CMS, and dashboards. They are cloud-based document and storage platforms. They offer similar functionality, with OneDrive being tailored more for personal individual use, i.e. that one user only will access their OneDrive platform. SharePoint however offers the functionality of having numerous people within an organisation all being able to access and work on the same cloud data. Permissions can also be made in SharePoint meaning that specific files and folders can only be accessed by users given permissions to do so.
How Microsoft 365 solutions enhance the work experience
Microsoft 365 is easy for Saqqara to implement and allows staff departments to group together; in fact, in some cases the ‘forced’ on-line collaborations have meant that teams work closer together and have improved communications!
It is possible to set up meeting groups for organisations, to safeguard employees and save on travel costs, moving forwards into a new working environment and protecting the business should further lock downs be enforced.
