Overview of Office 365 - Presentation By Sajid

Editor's Notes

• #4: Rather than the services being installed on the organisation's own servers (known as "on-premise"), with Microsoft Online Services the services are installed on Microsoft's servers which users access across the Internet. This makes Microsoft the service provider which hosts and manages the software on behalf of the customer. Less IT cost – no hardware costsOrganisations benefit from all services being backed by a 99.9% scheduled uptime SLA, and a premium disaster recovery service that allows a fast switchover to a geographically separated data centre in case of primary data centre failure.

• #10: One of the biggest challenges for nonprofits with remote staff or staff across different offices is to hold productive meetings together. Lync Online in Office 365 has solved this problem by adding multiparty high-definition video conferencing, allowing every participant to interact with everyone else in the meeting with lively, face-to-face contact. Plus, with the ability to share your screen, may it be a specific document, presentation, or your entire desktop, users can convey their point clearly to the audience. [Click to show screenshot of shared note taking in Lync Online]The new Lync Online in Office 365 now also supports creating a shared OneNote meeting notes during the meeting. This means with one click, you create a OneNote that everyone in the call has access to and can start typing at the same time. Everyone can see and verify the list of action items as they are being discussed to prevent confusion and ensure everyone is on the same page. Since it’s a shared OneNote, it also means the organizer of the meeting can delegate the responsibility of note-taking to someone else in the call if need be.

• #16: Not only is the new Office quick to install, it can also run side-by-side with older versions of Office. [Click] Here you have an example of a single machine running both Word 2013 and Word 2003.This is great for many reasons. It means you can deploy the new Office and standardize use across everyone in your organization but still allow, say Finance, to open and use a budgeting Excel file with macros built in that they have been using for years. This will give them time to test the new Excel before completely moving off of Office 2003, which is coming end of support by April 2014.
