How does Office 365 reduce staff workload?

No more memory sticks – many teachers spend hours each term swapping files between their personal and work laptops. Providing cloud storage via OneDrive not only eliminates the need for swapping files from one machine to another it also reduces the very real risk of losing a memory stick that contains sensitive data.No more lost work – we all know how demoralising it is having to do a piece of work twice. With Sharepoint document storage every version of a document is stored safely in the cloud. If you need to see what a document looked like 3 weeks ago, simply browse back through the version and compare the differences.
No more wasted hours hunting for documents – we are all expert at finding what we want on Google so why are we still hunting through incomprehensible folder structures looking for documents? With Delve you can search filenames, file content, author, dates and tags. All from one beautiful and intuitive interface.
No more “I’ll check when I get a chance”– Everything you store in Office 365 is available on every device, instantly!
How does Office 365 save money?

Every network or file server you have on site is probably costing you more money than you think:
• Hardware costs• Software licence costs• Electricity costs• Anti virus software costs• Support costs i.e. installing upgrades• Air conditioning costs
Storage in the Office 365 is entirely free of charge **
** File storage limits exist but are generous and suitable for the vast majority of institutions
