Are you getting the most out of Microsoft 365?

We regularly find that most businesses are massively underusing Microsoft 365. You yourself might be one of them. As a result, you may be paying more than necessary for third-party tools that are already included in Microsoft 365, and not taking advantage of the built-in security, collaboration tools, and automation features that come with Microsoft 365.

An example of using Microsoft 365 Business Premium is paying for Antivirus software from another vendor, such as McAfee, Sophos, ESET, or Bitdefender, or using an email encryption service from Mimecast. These tools are ALREADY included in your subscription.

Not using Microsoft 365 to its full potential is another, and here are some great features that are included that you might not be using:

Microsoft Bookings

This feature allows people to book a meeting directly with you and automatically syncs it to your calendar. You can send a link or include a button in your email signature that directs people to. This avoids the scenario of going back and forth with proposed dates and times to book a meeting.

Microsoft Forms.

Another great feature that is overlooked. You can set up forms that your internal staff or customers can fill out to gather the information you require. For example, a Holiday request form that your staff fill out to request dates for holidays. Once submitted, this goes to the relevant person for approval. Alternatively, you can send your clients a customer survey to gather vital feedback.

Power Automate.

This tool enables you to create workflows that automate repetitive tasks. This can bring several advantages, primarily saving time and reducing human error. Some examples of this include employee onboarding, contract management, document management, and approvals.
