Office 365

Office 365 provides cloud applications like OneDrive, SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, and others to Microsoft customer, to help improve an organization’s productivity and collaboration capabilities.

The convenience of the OneDrive cloud means that edits made to, for example, Word Documents, are automatically updated and accessible from any device that the user logs into. Time isn’t wasted replacing information lost from a broken device or backing up information to multiple locations. Easily share document with other colleagues, as needed, while still maintaining the proper security on the shared files.

SharePoint, a cloud service where you can create sites for teams within your organization, allows employees to store and share files quickly and easily over their respective sites–no more back-and-forth emailed attachments or USB exchanges. Build your organization intranet using SharePoint.

Through Outlook, communications and organization are streamlined. Your email integrates seamlessly with your calendar, contacts, reminders, and OneDrive files. Outlook can be your one-stop shop for personal tasks and documents, as opposed to accessing three different services and trying to sync them up.Use the Outlook mobile app to get your emails and appointments on the go.

Lastly, Microsoft Teams gets your team on the same page and collaborating quickly with group chat, online meetings, calling, and web conferencing with colleagues across the country and the world. Plus, Teams allows you to share important document amongst a team and have information organized within a team’s channel. This cuts down on time spent finding important information, organizing face-to-face meetings, but ultimately it helps unite your organization into one global team.

Azure

Microsoft Azure encompasses over 100 different cloud computing services, covering every facet of data exploration and generation.

With Azure’s artificial intelligence and machine learning services, computers can take care of tedious work that would otherwise waste the time of a qualified employee. For example, Azure Search uses AI to automatically identify features of your files–whether text, image, or audio–and matches them across the database.
