For many businesses and organisations, Microsoft software forms the backbone of their office administration, using Word for document creation, Excel for spreadsheets and calculations, and Exchange Server for email and calendars. Now with the Office 365, these products can be accessed from a wide range of devices from almost any location.
But all this convenience comes with a potential downside – the IT system administration. Every organisation running Office 365 – be it Business, Business Premium or Business Essentials – requires at least one employee to manage the many administrative tasks that keep all these software applications in good order.
Regular tasks include licences and renewals, installing new users and managing configurations. For the employee(s) concerned, it can be a major distraction from their main role within the business, as well as burdening them with additional responsibilities. Factor in security and data protection duties, and this administrative role becomes increasingly complex and time consuming. And though a business may benefit from having a member of staff with specific IT experience or training, what happens when that employee is on leave, off sick or leaves the company?
Hiring a professional IT support provider such as FX7 Solutions removes all these issues at a stroke. An experienced IT professional can handle both the installation and administration of Office 365, and set up reliable back-up systems to store software and data at multiple locations, such as on-site, off-site and in the Cloud. This will ensure that whatever happens, an up-to-date copy of critical data can be restored quickly to get a business back on its feet.
Using dedicated IT support removes all the hassles of Office 365 administration, including the need for specialist training, and increases productivity because employees can focus entirely on the core business. New users can be added or employees leaving the business removed quickly with minimum fuss. And with a reliable IT system working seamlessly in the background, staff can simply get on with their work using the Microsoft Office tools – with all the admin taken care for them.
