Since you can scale up as needed, your team can continue to work with the tools they are familiar with as you grow, you don’t have to change to a new system or adapt to new tools.

Intranets and Extranets
SharePoint is a collaboration platform that lets you build intranet and extranet sites for specific groups of users or tasks and projects. Share documents, calendars, task lists and booking of rooms and resources etc, with granular permissions, so that relevant information is easily found. Share individual documents or entire sites with external parties, and maintain complete control over what they can do with it, e.g. a customer can read a proposal but cannot email, save or print.

Reduce Capital Spend
Office 365 is a subscription-based service, which means you pay an annual or monthly fee per user. It eliminates the large up-front costs for new software; you’re essentially leasing vs. buying. This also moves IT costs from capital to operating expenses.
Although some companies pay yearly, most plans are usually paid month-to-month, which can be helpful from a cash flow perspective. You also have the freedom to switch off services that you aren’t using to cut costs. |
