It is worth mentioning that Office 365 isn't just suitable for large companies. Any business can leverage this productivity suite to increase productivity. The reality is that many of these tools are underused and underappreciated.
This article will highlight some of the top Office 365 tools you should consider implementing in your business.
The Tools
Tool #1 - TEAMS
Teams is a meeting, sharing, and chatting hub for your team. This cloud-based platform combines notes, files, conferences, and several apps in real-time.
The program has dramatically improved collaboration and productivity, bringing people, content, and conversations together into a single hub. It integrates effortlessly with Ofice 365 apps and features a secure global cloud. Another tremendous benefit is real-time communication. It lets all members watch edits in PowerPoint presentations, ensuring input from the entire team. Users can also provide feedback using the chat window to streamline productivity.
In addition, Teams supports cross-platform cooperation, allowing you to work on your phone, tablet, or computer.
Tool #2 - TO-DO
Microsoft To-Do is a smart task management platform that facilitates planning throughout your day. It delivers a personalized and intuitive way to help users stay organized.
Keeping track of your reminders is effortless with To-Do. You can add reminders, notes, and due dates while personalizing them with vivid themes. Aside from viewing them on the web, these lists are also accessible on most devices, including Android phones, iPhones, and Windows 10 devices.
Tool #3 - MYANALYTICS
Although teams spend much of their time in meetings, talking on the phone, and sending emails, they still may not be productive. To overcome this obstacle, Office 365 introduced MyAnalytics.
This tool increases employee efficiency by analyzing two productivity factors: how users spend their time and who they spend it with. The tool also suggests how you can be more productive by working less after-hours and reducing idle meeting time. There's also AI that flags your outlook commitments to remind you of your daily duties.
Tool #4 - SWAY
Sway is a presentation app that might someday replace PowerPoint. It boasts an integrated design engine to produce appealing presentations and reports.
Some of the features include dragging and dropping images, charts, videos, and canvas-based formats. The program can also produce newsletters and stories that can be viewed on various devices.
Tool #5 - PLANNER
Microsoft Planner is an excellent choice for companies with team members all over the globe and multiple simultaneous projects. It can rapidly digitize your task management processes.
It gives the users access to visual organization tools and four key functions: information hub, insights, communication, and flexible categorizations. It also enables team members to share files, create plans, assign and assemble tasks, and converse with co-workers while receiving progress updates.
Tool #6 - VIVA INSIGHTS
Microsoft Viva is an employee experience platform that helps to improve learning, wellbeing, and collaboration in the workplace.
Viva Insights provides insights into employees' work patterns that can cause stress and burnout, such as meeting overload and regular after-hours work. The app enables managers to help their teams find a balance between wellbeing and productivity.
