Benefits of Migrating to Office 365 for Enterprises, SMBs, and MSPs
1. Cost Savings
Most businesses plan a migration to Microsoft 365 for cost savings on a large scale. This is because Microsoft 365 for businesses costs a bit less than other standard cloud storage services like Box.
For example, Microsoft 365’s per-user pricing is lesser than Box’s (as highlighted in our Box vs OneDrive comparison guide). So, saving a certain amount for every user has a compounding effect which results in significant savings on the overall annual plan.
This is because Microsoft 365 cloud suite has all the collaboration apps, such as Teams for chat and calls, Outlook for emails, OneDrive and SharePoint Online for centralized storage, and world-renowned Office apps, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
So essentially, businesses do not have to pay extra for third-party email, chat, and other such services in Microsoft Office 365.
Microsoft 365 also includes a host of other apps, such as OneNote, Yammer, Viva Insights, and Power Automate, that improve user productivity and collaboration.
2. Extensive Collaboration
Businesses planning to migrate from Box to OneDrive and SharePoint Online or from any other standard cloud storage or local storage can significantly improve user collaboration, which ultimately helps improve business outcomes.
All the go-to apps in Microsoft 365, including Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, are interconnected in the SharePoint intranet. The tight integration between these apps helps improve collaboration for individual employees and their teams.
Similar to SharePoint, Teams plays a critical role in making Microsoft 365 one of the best collaboration-focused cloud suites. Users can share any OneDrive and SharePoint Online file and folder in Teams with a shareable SharePoint link that is created automatically.
