How can Microsoft 365 benefit your business?

Microsoft 365 helps businesses tackle key challenges like remote work, data security, and team collaboration by providing reliable, scalable solutions that enhance efficiency and protect sensitive information.

Remote & hybrid working

With our teams benefiting from an increased work-life-balance with the flexibly to work remotely, it’s important that your critical services are hosted in the cloud (which is accessed via the Internet). Using Microsoft 365 means that your team will be able to work securely from home, the office, or on the go. Apps and files are available on any device, empowering your teams to work more efficiently.

Cost savings, easy budgeting & scalability

Our monthly subscription-based service means that you pay a fixed monthly fee per user, making budgeting easier. It also allows for licenses to be added or removed in line with business growth, adding flexibility and scalability. 

Microsoft 365 operates in the cloud, therefore, you don’t need on-site servers for your messaging, document storage, applications, or device and user management. You’ll benefit from cost savings and no longer having to invest in physical servers and the energy costs and maintenance that come with having to continuously run them.

We’re part of the Microsoft Partner Network, which means we have access to the best pricing on some of the most popular hardware and IT software platforms. 
 

Increased Productivity

The use of Microsoft Teams and SharePoint empowers your teams to communicate instantly and collaborate on documents together in real-time, just as if you were in the same room. 

Our Standard and Premium packages include Microsoft Copilot (as an add-on), an intelligent AI tool designed to elevate the efficiency of modern work. It offers intelligent assistance that empowers users to enhance their creativity, productivity, and skillset.

Further enhance productivity with our Microsoft Power Platform Consultancy. Our expert team are here to combine innovative ideas with the Power Platform to streamline your unique operations, gain a 360° view of your data, and help your organisation to drive growth. 

Data Security

Microsoft 365 stores your data securely in the cloud, preventing unauthorised access and data making recovery easier in the event of corruption or loss.

Microsoft 365 email security apps help to protect your organisation from cyber threats through in-built defenses for phishing attempts and other malware. 

We always recommend a multi-layered approach to cyber security to ensure you have all lines of defense covered. Microsoft’s advanced security features form part of this multi-layered approach.
