A lot has been written and spoken about Microsoft Office 365 (Office 365 is now Microsoft 365) since its initial release in late June of 2011. Office 365 has been a buzzword since then across most major enterprises and a very good one at that for Microsoft, helping the software giant make leaps and bounds of growth.
Much of Office 365’s success and applicability has been focused on why an organization should not or should consider migrating to Office 365 from older on-premises versions. Modern Workplace solutions such as Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive and Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams and your entire office online make it an especially appealing offering and should definitely be part of an organization’s consideration when deciding whether or not to make the switch.
However cool the features might sound, an organization’s successful migration or adoption does not depend on the coolness factor of the cloud-based solution that Office 365 is. Rather, an organization should consider how these features translate to better productivity and more predictable (and sometimes lower) costs. With that in mind, let’s examine the top reasons an organization should migrate to Office 365 now.
Migration to Office 365 has proven that it has what it takes to be the best in the market for having all your productivity tools in one place. If you are still wondering if you need to make the move to the cloud from your on-premise Exchange servers, then you should read on:
1. No more worrying about servers and infrastructure maintenance
Oh yes! Being in the cloud has it’s perks like we all know. With Office 365 running on the cloud, an enterprise doesn’t have to think ever about maintaining and running the exchange servers particularly meaning that you are free of all the hassle. Plus you see a bug/ issue ever in the app, Microsoft will be responsible to smash it out of the work. And if ever you run into complex issues with your Office 365 environment, Office 365 Managed IT service provider like Star Knowledge can lead you straight out of the problems.
2. Office 365 grows your business
With Microsoft offering flexible, pay-as-you-go options and on-demand additional services like data storage and servers, it is much easier to invest in the technology without having to bother too much about an initial investment of a large sum. Whenever your needs scale, upgrade to a plan that suits best and your business is all set.
3. Enterprise-Grade Social Networks for Better Communication and Team Cohesion
If you’ve not already heard of it, then Microsoft bought Enterprise Social Network (ESN) named Yammer for $1.2 Billion back in 2012. Why such a huge sum is a question we may all ask? Because ESNs are likely to play an increasingly important role in how we work. Facilitating interactions, making talent searching easier, looking up documents and files and private chats for one-to-one or multi-people communication, and cut out lengthy email chains with the ability to ‘like’ posts, comment on your group’s activity, and share and collaborate on files incredibly easily is the key driver of the success of Yammer across enterprises looking for a tightly knit collaboration solutions with their existing tools or the tools they are already familiar with.
