Frequently Asked Questions.
What is Microsoft 365 and how can it help my business?
Microsoft 365 brings together business tools including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and the familiar Office applications.
Used effectively, it connects communication, documents and collaboration, helping people work securely from the office, home or on the move.
Which Microsoft 365 licence does my business need?
That depends on the applications people use, how they work and the level of security and device management required.
Different roles may need different licences.
Reviewing your requirements first helps avoid missing important features or paying for tools nobody uses.
What is the difference between SharePoint and OneDrive?
OneDrive is primarily designed for an individual’s files and work in progress.
SharePoint is intended for information that teams need to access, manage and collaborate on.
Most businesses use both, with clear rules about what should be stored where.
Can Microsoft Teams replace our existing phone system?
Yes.
Microsoft Teams Phone can bring internal communication, meetings and external business calls together within Teams.
Whether it is right for your business depends on your numbers, call routing, internet connection, licensing and other telephone requirements.
Is Microsoft 365 secure and backed up?
Microsoft 365 includes security, retention and recovery features, but they must be configured and managed correctly.
Multi-factor authentication, appropriate permissions, device protection and monitoring are essential.
Depending on your recovery and retention requirements, an independent backup may also be appropriate.
