Why Microsoft 365 Is Just The Best

By Alxa Robin


One of the many benefits of office 365 is the updated versions of all the Microsoft servers. These services run on Exchange 2010, SharePoint 2010 and Lync. The corporate users of these features will enjoy their functionality more especially because the enterprise edition includes the licensing for office professional plus.

Compatibility of software and their upgrading is a major issue that most users of software look into. This is why Microsoft 365 is amazing, as it is able to support, Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Most of the commonly used browsers such as Firefox 3.x., Mozilla, Internet Explorer 7 and later works well with office 365's online web portal. The only thing it doesn't support is the federated identity.

Security of office 365 is also assured. Companies will not have to worry much about the security threats that pose when using this cloud service. This is because Microsoft office 365 only allows access to its applications through code 128-bit SSL/TSL encryption. This means that people cannot access other parties' data without authority. Microsoft Trustworthy Computing initiative also protect data from malware and spammers. There are also anti viruses that keep updating from time to time.

The efficiency in downtime management is one of the best of them all. Microsoft has set up a Service Level Agreement between Microsoft and its users to attain a 99.9 percent service satisfaction. A good example is downtime management.

In case of a downtime at one data center, Microsoft has set up extra data centers. They will help to back up any data center that may be down at any given time making sure there is no downtime. This works swiftly through transfer of clients from one data center to another with as minimum interruptions as possible.

Compliancy is a major concern in the business world today. In line with both government and the industry regulations, Microsoft is well placed ahead in compliancy issues. Microsoft office 365 is ISO 27001 certified. It has also been audited by the SAS70 type I and II audit. More controls such as the Health Insurance and accountability Act and FERPA educational rights area tools it has set up for its users to aid them in compliancy issues.

You can easily achieve single sign-on, so that users can log onto the domain and be automatically authenticated to office 365. This can be done by configuring your Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) to achieve a single sign in. That is for instance if your network is running on Server 2008 Directory services.

The Microsoft 365 and its share point sites can work with all Microsoft Office 2010 applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, InfoPath and SharePoint workspace. This allows multiple users to edit the same document at the same time by using Microsoft office 2010 and SharePoint online. This is achievable because Microsoft office can be easily collaborated since you can get 500 MB of storage per user account with storage of up 100 GB per quota. There is also a possibility of managing documents off-line and getting them back online automatically through synchronization when you finally reconnect.
