What is Office 365?
- As a business owner or entrepreneur, you already know that having the right communication tools is one of the most important parts of running a successful business. Like many others, you may think of Office 365 as being limited to applications such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook – but you could not be more wrong.
- Did you know that Office 365 is no longer a series of separate applications, but a platform to share, collaborate, and synchronize your data and documents? Not only is it a powerful productivity tool for all your devices, but it’s also easier than ever to transfer all your already-existing data, documents, and mail to one place.
- Soteria is a certified Microsoft partner and can help assist moving your business to Office 365.
Migration Process
How switching to Office 365 Works
- You may be wary of moving all your data, emails, and documents from your current platforms to Office 365. If your business is relatively small, Microsoft provides an embedded “Microsoft Tools” application. If your business is larger, Microsoft suggests using a third-party to assist in the migration process. SkyKick is one of the best providers that assists in the preparation and transferring to the new platform.
- The cost of hiring a third-party, like SkyKick, to assist you in your migration is a per user basis. You’ll typically be paying anywhere from $25-$50 per user, though it saves you the hassle of transferring all your emails, documents, calendars and data yourself.
