Cloud computing continues to impress the business world with improvements in management tools to better advance the changing IT landscape. It has increased the number of options specially tailored to meet the unique needs of small, medium, and enterprise level businesses. Microsoft Office 365 is one of those developments designed to bring affordability, accessibility, and scalability to a whole new level. The value that Office 365 brings to the table is quite compelling, and is why we at Platinum Systems, Inc. are excited to take a 365 Degree View!
Why Office 365 Makes Sense
AFFORDABILITY
Cost efficiency is key. Office 365 makes it easy by providing a per-user, per-month fee and ditches high, upfront costs. Set up as a recurring fee for service, Office 365 allows one to reduce both capital expenditure and operational expenses. There is no more obsolete software licensing!
ACCESSIBILITY
Thanks to Office 365, individuals are able to work more effectively in remote settings with the use of laptops, smartphones, and other devices. It’s reliable mobility at its finest, allowing staff to stay in touch real time, and increases efficiency and productivity. Having everyone on the same operating system also reduces training, licensing confusion, and requires less support as all versions are always up-to-date and automatically upgradable.
SCALABILITY
Need to increase or decrease the number of Office 365 users? No problem. Office 365 is scalable allowing one to buy only what is needed and when.
