We talk a lot about workplace efficiency, productivity, and connectivity especially now as we are living in a reality of hybrid work environments. To create a thriving environment for your employees, its really about bringing everything together through technology.

On their own, these capabilities help to improve productivity and knowledge-sharing, but Microsoft 365 takes them a step further. With the cloud-based SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365, the improved user interface and interconnectivity make it easy to manage documents in cloud-based libraries and offer seamless document sharing.

When an employee has questions about a document change, for example, its easy to send an instant message to a colleague through the integrated Teams features. Other team members have the option to find the document in a Teams channel newsfeed and comment on updates or changes.

Enhanced Mobile Access For Anywhere, Anytime Productivity Microsoft 365 combines the power of cloud computing with a full suite of mobile apps, making it easier for employees to stay productive while traveling, on site or working remotely. Microsoft 365 apps focus on individual applications (Word, Excel, Teams, etc.) and are free for small mobile devices. Depending on the needs of your company, however, you may want to look beyond these standard apps in order to create a truly mobile digital workplace. For instance, you can create an application built with PowerApps that is accessible from any mobile device. Other applications like Planner, SharePoint and OneDrive also have their own applications which interact nicely with each other. The power of these apps allow you to focus on delivering your organizations mission rather than worrying if your team is staying connected and productive on the go.
