What is Office 365 Business Premium - and what can it do for you?

Let’s keep this simple. Office 365 Business Premium provides a series of Microsoft programs specifically designed to help your small or medium-size business become more efficient. 

It has received rave reviews from industry critics and professionals alike, as it provides a whole range of useful tools to save you and your business time and money. And the great thing is, Office 365 is such good value you’d be mad not to try it.

It’s so easy to get bogged down in technical details, so let’s have a look at what you get, and why it is money well spent.

Business Services

You get a range of “must-have” office tools to make your business run smoothly. These include:

Skype for Business: enable team members to meet up online and collaborate with any business, anytime, anywhere - for those important meetings. You can share presentations and much more – all from your favourite portable device whether that’s your iPad or your mobile.

Exchange: An easy-to-use business-class email system you can access through your desktop or web browser, and it synchs-in your calendar and contacts across all your devices. Users can keep all their important data in one place and have anywhere access to email, calendar, and contacts on all major browsers and across all devices. Exchange is one of the main reasons Office 365 Business Premium has been so successful.

SharePoint: Share and manage content. Provide access of information to teams across your business so that everyone receives important information that’s relevant to them. SharePoint is basically team-work made easy.

Invoicing: Simplify the nightmare of invoicing. Find draft estimates, past invoices, set sales tax, apply discounts and much, much more. It’s so easy and so efficient. A connector to QuickBooks lets you synch all customer and catalogue data.

MileIQ: This creates a record of your mileage and sends you weekly reports. Once MileIQ is installed, it works in the background – there are no buttons to press to start or stop. Your miles are automatically logged and recorded as you drive. You get a complete record of all your tax deductible and reimbursable mileage. It’s so easy.

Bookings: The simplest system for managing appointments and bookings. Receive email confirmations, calendar invites and friendly reminders. 

Teams: This business communications app enables local and remote workers to collaborate on content in real-time, and near-real time across different devices including laptops and mobile devices. The split-screen shows the faces of the people attending in real-time, so you really can communicate effectively with everyone, no matter where they’re located. There are many more uses for the Teams app, too.

Outlook Customer Manager: Small and medium business owners always say they never have enough time to get everything done – so making sure your customers are happy and feel wanted is important as you try to do a million things at once. Outlook Customer Manager allows meetings and phone-calls to be easily logged – using software you’re already familiar with. No more forgetting what was discussed previously with one customer or trying to remember what deal you gave to another.

Favourites at your fingertips

The Office 365 Business Premium also gives you the best tools for your business to thrive. All your favourites are supplied:  Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access and Publisher are all included.

Privacy and Security

Everything is safe and secure with Office 365. Advanced security and privacy controls protect your business data and devices against viruses and malicious threats. Automatic updates do it all for you.

Using the Cloud:

The Office 365 is a cloud-based system. This means that your business can increase capacity and can function easier. Imagine you’re attending a meeting, but don’t have the information you need on your laptop. Just retrieve it from the Cloud! Storing things in the Cloud means that you don’t have to spend money on extra storage capacity.
