    How Microsoft Office Premium can boost productivity at work

    When streamlining workflows and keeping teams productive, tools like Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium provide more than just the basics. Whether it’s the advanced collaboration tools or the extensive cybersecurity and device management, this suite of applications is made to help businesses operate to their full potential. 

    Here is how Microsoft Office Business Premium can elevate your workplace productivity: 

    Advanced office applications 

    Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium offers your business updated web and mobile versions of their Office applications. This includes advanced features like real-time co-authoring in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. With the ability for multiple team members to collaborate within the same document simultaneously, productivity will increase while the information remains secure by eliminating the need to send files back and forth through email or messaging. 

    Desktop apps 

    With fully installed and up-to-date applications on your desktop for both Windows and Mac computers, your teams will never have to deal with faulty or outdated software slowing down their progress. You can install Microsoft desktop applications on up to five PCs or Macs per user. Since these applications update automatically, your team will always have access to the most secure versions of their apps without disruptions to their workflows while waiting for updates to complete.

    Sophisticated email and calendar management 

    Improve your email and calendar management with up to 50GB mailbox, custom domains, and built-in security features. You can schedule your calendars, set reminders for important dates or meetings, and protect your information from spam or phishing attacks via email. 

    File and storage capabilities 

    Keep your data accessible with 1TB of OneDrive storage that automatically syncs your files across devices and allows users to securely share documents with external contacts. By sharing through your Microsoft Office Business Premium account, you can share externally through guest links when providing sensitive information to verify that it’s the correct contact receiving the message. 

    Strong security and compliance

    By complying with over 1,000 security and privacy controls, Microsoft Office Business Premium enables your business to meet industry standards and avoid legal issues or costly fines in the future. 

    Device management 

    Microsoft Intune helps you configure and secure your devices across platforms including Windows, iOS, and Android so you can securely access your tools without worrying about your cybersecurity. By automatically deploying and updating your apps, you can work productively from any device.

    24/7 support services 

    Microsoft Office 365 Business Premium offers 24/7 support services with a 99.9% uptime guarantee to ensure you always get the answers you need.

    Designed for up to 300 users, Microsoft Office Business Premium is ideal for growing businesses that need commercial-grade productivity solutions.

    Microsoft Office productivity tools in the premium suite

    An advantage of the Microsoft Office Business Premium subscription includes a plethora of collaboration tools that will help your business improve productivity. It supports online meetings and video calls for up to 250 people. With tools like SharePoint, you can distribute important information and resources across organizations so everyone can work together on projects without compromising security. 

    Microsoft Office collaboration tools

    SharePoint Online offers users a central place to store, organize, and share documents or information. It simplifies document management, access, and controls, and encourages advanced teamwork opportunities.

    Microsoft Teams is a communication platform where employees can message, call, hold video meetings, and collaborate on shared files within a single app. It helps teams stay connected, even when working remotely, and ensures security when sharing information through meetings or messaging. 

    Real-time co-authoring in Word and Excel allows multiple users to work on the same document simultaneously, reducing the need to send files back and forth and lowering the risk of cyber threats.
