There's no time for slow and steady when you're an SMB up against tech-smart competitors.
To push ahead of competition, successful modern offices are betting on the cloud for unbeatable productivity and collaboration in an increasingly mobile world. But even if you’re ready to start using the cloud in your office, you may be stuck on which provider to use.

We all get that Google is the King of Search. Still, when you’re looking for a comprehensive solution for communication and collaboration, Microsoft Office 365 is the horse to back.
Microsoft web tools come with different functionality options and a good plan of deployment will determine if you’re successful or not. We’ll show you techniques to get ahead of the pack and how to introduce the productivity perks your staff will love.
Here’s what NTG finds important: hosted mobility solutions, supported by robust functionality, reliability, and offline/online flexibility.
These are Office 365’s Top Four winning features:
1. Document Sharing
Emailing a document back and forth can get messy fast. Without the right tools, collaboration can be inefficient and frustrating. Moving to the cloud dramatically shifts the way employees work together, allowing multiple users to access and edit a document simultaneously.
Taking advantage of document sharing with Office 365’s Sharepoint unleashes the power of teamwork and will quickly prove to be to tool you never knew you needed.
2. Security
Security is one of the most defining differences of Office 365 . Put simply: Microsoft will not mine your data, whereas other competitors will. Take a look at our post on the meddlesome Gmail man to see what we mean.
Businesses that are serious about the safety of their information should side with Microsoft Office 365’s policy to keep their information secure.
3. Lync Instant Messaging, Video Conferencing, and Online Meetings (oh my!)
Just as email accelerated the pace of business in 90s, instant messaging is the next step for faster communication between employees. With Office 365’s instant messaging tool, Lync, you can quickly see which employees are online and contact them directly.
Lync also allows for voice calls through your computer to other Lync or Skype users, and even gives you cool capabilities for online meetings like screen-sharing and virtual whiteboards. (At NTG we really love our whiteboards.)
4. Offline –online Synchronization
If you ever find yourself offline, Office 365’s SharePoint lets you work on documents offline and then update your documents when you regain a connection.
You’ll no longer find yourself cut off by connection failures.
Business owners are used to wearing a lot of different hats, Melbourne Cup season or not. With Microsoft Office 365, you don’t need to be a tech pro to cross the finish line and achieve all your business’s goals in record time.
