In a fast-paced digital workplace with hybrid working, being able to create, store, communicate, collaborate, co-author and share files seamlessly is so important for business. This enables people to do their jobs more easily and from anywhere. Having access to productivity tools makes organisations agile and allows them to thrive.

Office 365 apps allow you install on up to 30 multiple devices without even buying multiple licenses which works out cheaper in the long run. You will automatically get latest feature updates if you keep paying your subscription fee. You even get tons of storage space to backup files, photos and videos.

Have You Tried It?

Have you tried sharing file(s) when working in Microsoft 365? It’s so simple to share your documents regardless of the file size. You can collaborate with both internal and external colleagues. Office 365 has many great features that help you stay connected and get things done with an added calmness.

Whether you’re using a laptop, PC or a mobile device you can be productive from anywhere. Sharing and co-authoring in real time is available in OneDrive, Word, Excel and PowerPoint online. You can work with other colleagues on the same document, publish links and request feedback whilst the document is stored online.
