Archiving just got personal
Exchange Online gives you access to your own personal email archiving system. Your personal archive shows up as another mailbox right next to your regular mailbox. You access your archive just like you access your regular mailbox. On top of that, when you need to search for an old email, you can choose to search your archive in addition to your regular mailbox.
Collaborating made easy
In the last decade, SharePoint has taken the world by storm. As consultants, we had a large property management client ask us about SharePoint the other day. We were curious what was driving their decision because they knew very little about SharePoint. Our client told me that when he talks with his peers in the industry, they all tell him they use SharePoint extensively. When he asks them about their experience using SharePoint they tell him that they can’t imagine running their business without SharePoint. That was enough of a driver for him to find out about SharePoint right away. After all, when the competition moves toward some- thing that increases their advantage, other companies have to move quickly in order to maintain the ability to compete. And thus is the case with the adoption of the technology wave consisting of communication, collaboration, content man- agement, and consolidation, which is all made possible by SharePoint.
The newcomer to the scene is Microsoft Teams. Teams is a one-stop-shop for all your communications needs and integrates closely with SharePoint. Teams replaces Skype for Business for your messaging, communications, and meeting needs, and it also integrates with SharePoint so that all your documents, calendars, and data are in a single place. Upgrading to Teams can be as simple as starting to use Teams instead of Skype for Business. Microsoft Teams is covered in Chapter 15.
Microsoft Teams replaces Skype for Business and provides a one-stop-shop for all your communications needs. If you and your organization haven’t already upgraded to Teams, it is time to check it out.
With Office 365, your organization gets SharePoint and Teams without the hassle of having to work through a complicated deployment. Your IT staff has an admin- istrative interface and can provision sites and set up users with minimal effort. With SharePoint and Teams up and running, your organization can spend its resources on solving real business problems, instead of working through the tech- nical details of an implementation. Using SharePoint is covered in detail in Part 3.
