Why Choose Microsoft 365?

Office 365 provides benefits for all businesses over standalone, single purchase software, in terms of:

Flexibility

Office 365 means you and your team can work from anywhere. As long as you have access to the internet, you can view, share, edit and create documents across the entire Microsoft Office platform. For businesses with remote workers, team members who travel a lot, or several offices – it keeps everyone connected at all times.

Team-working

Forget multiple versions of the same document or spreadsheet floating around – Office 365 enables real-time collaboration and team-working from the same files. That means fewer files floating around, less confusion and less duplicated effort.

Always up to date

With Microsoft Office 365, applications update automatically – your business will benefit from all the latest features and security updates as soon as they happen. It means as the Office platform evolves, you won’t have to keep investing to benefit from the upgrades. It also means enhanced security, with patches to protect your business from vulnerabilities as soon as they are implemented.

Security

Microsoft Office 365 comes with a wide range of advanced security features designed to protect your data, including encrypted email, data loss prevention, advanced theft analytics and mobile device management. In essence, it provides you with increased visibility and control over vital business data to keep your business safe.

Scalability

The easy, mix and match subscription model means you can adapt the package to meet the needs of your organisation. The modular system means you don’t have to shell out for the full package if you don’t need it, and different team members can have access to the applications they need.

You can switch plans as and when you need to, to match the needs of your organisation. The subscription model also works to benefit cash-flow – providing you with a predictable monthly spend on your office productivity software.

Microsoft 365 Backup Services

Generally people believe that you don’t need to backup your Office 365 data, which is partially true. Microsoft 365 comes with some built-in mechanisms to protect your data and offers limited set of abilities for restoring it. But what if you want more? More restore options, or more security?

How does Microsoft protect your data?

It is important to know what your own responsibilities are when it comes to your Microsoft Office 365 Data. Microsoft is a cloud provider and its main goal, when it comes to data protection, is to ensure that the services and your data are always available. They are not a backup provider.

Microsoft offers a lot of tools to help keep your data safe, but it’s up to you to use them and configure them correctly. If you don’t use retention policies, DLP policies, or MFA, for example, then it’s your own responsibility when your data is compromised or lost. That is where IT-C can assist you in ensuring your systems are configured correctly, are secure and most importantly that your data backedup and safe.

When choosing a backup solution, it is important to check what is actually backed-up. Most solutions can make a backup of Exchange, SharePoint, and OneDrive. But a lot of data these days can also be found in Teams. So it is important to utilise a backup solutions which backs-up all your data.
