It’s no surprise that Microsoft is setting it’s sight on the cloud. Office 365 is a perfect example as it provides an online SharePoint platform, for example.
According to the October 2013 research from Forrester,  158 IT decision- makers said that 28% are planning on implementing the software sometime in the next twelve months.
Office 365 features:
Site Mailboxes
Let’s say you’re project involves team input and collaboration. Users can simply ‘drag and drop’ docs. right from the desktop to a Site Mailbox—it’s done thru Outlook. Remote access is assured and it even syncs with SharePoint.
Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
It happens: the wrong data, the sensitive stuff, can be sent to the wrong people. But sensitive data is only exchanged if the analysis says its ‘ok.’ These standard meet those critical PII, HIPPA and PCI requirements. Furthermore, a ‘Policy Tips’ feature in Outlook is there to let you know if you might violating these standards.
Social Media and Office 365
This is what Microsoft wanted to achieve with this platform, allowing users to track documents, the sites and the people who are involved with a project, or have input to provide. This is made possible through the Activity Feed.
Connecting with vendors/people outside the company
Key suppliers and partners can access ‘read only’ documents that are project-specific. Always, such contact is wholly authenticated and encrypted per the company’s policies.
