Microsoft 365

Managing your emails has literally never been easier than with Microsoft 365. With an admin control centre at your disposal, you can easily set up new user emails, restore deleted accounts, and even create custom scripts, from anywhere that suits you. With the right package, you will have email hosting with your own customised email domain, elevating your professionalism from the get-go.

Microsoft 365 syncs emails, calendars and contact information across your devices in real time, so you’ll always have the latest work updates, whether you’re in the office, or on the train. And if you lose your phone on the train, don’t stress because you also have the capacity to remotely wipe any device that may become lost or otherwise compromised. For added reassurance, know that your emails are protected by industry-leading anti-malware protection and anti-spam filtering to keep you safe from the tiresomely frequent email threats and phishing attempts.

With Microsoft 365, Outlook allows you to customise your email format, include images and use your domain name, making your business more distinctive and memorable to your audience. You can also send messages up to 150 MB, and store all the emails you need with your massive 100 GB of storage.

If you should choose to add additional security to your Microsoft 365 with the Azure Information Protection, you and your employees will immediately have the ability to control who can access your emails regardless of who they are sent to. Your users can easily select ‘Do Not Forward’ and ‘Company Confidential’ settings on emails, as well as Microsoft 365 Message Encryption, so you can send encrypted emails to anyone.

Lift the burden of daily minutiae with the Outlook Customer Manager. This nifty Microsoft 365 feature is your very own built-in personal assistant that takes all your incoming information and will organise, categorise and prioritise it for you. All your emails, meetings, phone calls, notes, upcoming tasks, and deadlines will be handled, and assigned automatic reminders and prioritisation for urgent tasks.

Within Outlook you can also create Groups to discuss, share and collaborate with your team members, sharing files and exchanging notes on a certain project. If you want a more personal interaction, use Microsoft Teams to create chats, meetings or live stream. Dial into a conference call, or use Skype for Business to make voice or video calls for real-time communication.

Streamline your communication by consolidating all your emails into one place, add your Outlook email, Gmail, Yahoo, and more. Have everything conveniently in one place so you don’t constantly need to switch between apps or accounts. If you’ve got too much going on, then set your messages to return to your inbox later, whether in a few hours or a few days, and you won’t risk forgetting to follow up on something important.

One of the best features about Microsoft 365 in terms of daily work management, is the humble calendar. Keep everything organised in your day with reminders, meeting schedules, task deadlines and share with coworkers to coordinate meeting times. Any changes or updates to calendar events will be synced in real-time across all your devices, so you can always have the latest on event changes or deadlines.

The security features of Microsoft 365 are nothing to sneeze at when you consider all that Microsoft has bundled in for the protection of your data. With integrated Single Sign-On, your users are only required to remember one username and password. At first glance that perhaps seems less secure than multiple usernames and passwords, but in practice, the more usernames and passwords required, the more likely a user is going to opt for a weak, easy-to-remember password they use for all accounts, or worse, just write everything down because it becomes impossible to keep track of all the separate logins. If your users are only required to remember one strong password, they are more likely to do so.

This brings us to Azure Information Protection, which is different to the overarching Microsoft Azure cloud computing service. You can add Azure Information Protection to your Microsoft 365 subscription for a small additional cost and immediately take advantage of the added security. Azure Information Protection doesn’t just protect your emails by controlling viewing permissions and encryption, but also helps set up permissions on SharePoint libraries, protects files regardless if they are online or downloaded to a local machine, and has seamless integration with all Office documents.

Microsoft 365 message encryption allows you to share protected emails with anyone, whether they’re in your organisation or not. This cost-effective method of strong, automated email encryption is your best bet for protecting sensitive data without being required to install additional software, or pay through the nose.

With ISO 27001 certified security, you can be assured that Microsoft is taking good care of your cybersecurity where Microsoft 365 is concerned. Of course, you must always follow your own protocols and cybersecurity measures, but with Microsoft taking full responsibility for securing the data you store with them, you can definitely breathe easy knowing they’ve implemented the cybersecurity framework endorsed by the International Organisation of Standards.
