Why choose Microsoft 365?
Microsoft solutions are the gold standard in collaboration software. From Outlook to Word, PowerPoint to Excel, Microsoft 365 is how the world does business.
Now that these applications are fully integrated with the cloud, businesses can achieve unprecedented collaboration and efficiency. No more trading files as email attachments, trying to keep track of the latest version. A cloud-hosted file in OneDrive or SharePoint is always authoritative and up to date, even as multiple editors make contributions.
Is M365 a “set it and forget it” solution?
Microsoft 365 requires regular maintenance and attention to keep your environment secure and up to date. User maintenance, permissions, and security updates are a core part of keeping M365 working for your business.
Can we manage Microsoft 365 ourselves?
That depends on your resources and priorities. You’ll need dedicated resources who 1) know Microsoft 365 inside and out, and 2) have the bandwidth to commit to supporting M365.
Global enterprises often have the people on staff to cover this. However, many organizations find it challenging to manage M365 with staff resources due to limitations in skillset and bandwidth. In these cases, managed services are a great option. You can get the coverage you need for a fraction of the cost of hiring staff for the same purpose.

What’s the difference between OneDrive and SharePoint?
OneDrive and SharePoint are similar in one regard: They’re both cloud-based file hosting services.
That said, they have different purposes.
OneDrive is intended for storing personal files that other users don’t need to see.
SharePoint is intended for team collaboration involving multiple users within an organization.
Of course, you can share OneDrive documents with other users in your organization, and those users can edit those documents if you choose.
Likewise, you can use SharePoint for non-collaborative documents.
But most organizations will get the most mileage by using both solutions. Individual users can work in OneDrive for files that others won’t need to see. When it’s time to start collaborating, they can upload files to SharePoint and invite collaborators to access the files with the appropriate permissions. This approach gives users the best of both worlds.
