Apple products come with iWork; Google Workspace is ideal for cloud-based working; and Microsoft Office, perhaps the most famous one, has been helping users with personal and business work for many years. Nowadays, Microsoft Office, also known as Office 365 Apps, comes with Microsoft 365 licensing. This is what a lot of businesses opt for, like TechQuarters, a London IT Support company.

 

TechQuarters are a Microsoft Gold Partner, so they know all there is to know about Microsoft Office. “It includes everything you need to conduct business on a day-to-day basis” says TechQuarters. The Office 365 Apps include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for all your note-taking and document needs; but you also get Outlook – Microsoft’s email client, OneDrive – your personal cloud-based storage service, and Microsoft Teams – the collaboration platform that brings chatting, calling, and videoconferencing together.

 

The functionalities of Microsoft Office are so diverse that it can sometimes be difficult to scratch beneath the surface. Of course, we all know how to use word processors, or create presentations, but there are a lot of ways to get the most out of Office. For example, creating Macros in Word documents is a great way of automating certain functions you need regularly, and make the process quicker – but these solutions are not always easily found. You may consider recruiting the help of a Microsoft and Office 365 Consultant to map the needs of your business to the right solutions in the Office apps.

 

The great thing about Microsoft Office is the level of integration it has. Microsoft Teams, for example, supports OneDrive storage from within the app, meaning you can access all your files from its interface. You can also open and create documents in Teams, edit them, and share them with other users. You can effectively conduct your whole day’s work from within Microsoft Teams. Outlook is of course one of the most popular email clients in the world, and for good reason. It’s packed full of useful features for business; you can customise the interface; and it too integrates very well with Microsoft Teams – for example you can view Outlook meetings in Teams, or schedule Teams Video Meetings from the calendar in Outlook.

 

The support available for Microsoft Office is also very good. You’re not limited to going directly to the source of the software when you need support. Microsoft Partners such as TechQuarters are there to offer fast and direct support for your business “Our Managed IT Support London package includes support for Microsoft and Office 365,” says TechQuarters.

 

In conclusion, many businesses feel that Microsoft Office, or Office 365 Apps, is the number 1 set of client software for working in a business.
