What Is Office 365?

Office 365 is the latest offering from Microsoft that aims to solve a lot of the problems facing many modern businesses, such as reliable emails, Microsoft Office, online storage, collaboration between staff, communication and much more. It is a shift away from the traditional way of purchasing Office as a one-off product, and instead offers it as an ongoing subscription licence, and includes other features alongside Office that are very useful for most businesses.

The main things included in Office 365 are:

• Hosted Exchange emails
• Microsoft Office
• 1Tb online storage

The features above are the three areas that the vast majority of businesses will benefit from immediately after switching to Office 365. However there are many more applications included that you get access to, including:

• Sharepoint, for creating your own company Intranet
• Skype For Business
• Flow, Sway and Yammer
• and many more Microsoft applications

Hosted Exchange Emails

One of the most impressive features of Office 365 is the Hosted Exchange email system. Simply put, Exchange is the market leading business class email option used by millions of users around the world. Historically Exchange has only been available for large organisations as it involved running your own "on premises" server with expensive licences, as well as having to deal with security upgrades, backups, uptime monitoring and such like. Hosted Exchange takes the same Exchange email system and makes it available in the cloud, meaning businesses of all sizes can sign up and benefit from it.

Exchange is very robust and reliable, as well as being one of the most secure email systems available. It just works the way emails are supposed to. Email systems are a bit like a referee in a football match, if they've had a good game you shouldn't really notice them. It's only if the referee makes a mistake do they become a talking point. It's similar with your business email system, the most successful email platforms work happily in the background and rarely get noticed. Exchange gives you peace of mind knowing it will work when you need it to.

One of the most popular benefits of Exchange is it's continuous synchronisation with multiple devices. You can have your work computer, laptop, mobile and tablet all connected, and Exchange will seamlessly synchronise your mail, contacts and calendar across all devices. If you mark an email as read on one device, it will straight away show as being read on all devices.
