IT Solution

Seemingly thousands of companies claim to have an IT solution for every conceivable task or problem. Yet, over and over, people turn to Microsoft. That's because even though some software and SaaS companies have excellent specialized solutions, Microsoft makes the sort of software that almost every company can use. This makes it so that even if you use one or more pieces of specialized software, there is surely something you need to do that is best served by a product from the tech giant.

Office 365 is a perfect example of a Microsoft product that expertly covers common needs. It includes an email program, a spreadsheet, software for presentations, a word processor, and more. Even if your company will only use two or three of these on a regular basis, it's worth it to subscribe to Office 365 due to the benefits that the suite offers.

One of the biggest benefits of Office 365, from a business standpoint, is its ubiquity. This makes it so that you can advertise for workers that know the parts your company uses, and there's almost a 100 percent chance that you'll get people lining up who don't need to be trained in the basics. That makes onboarding much faster and easier for the relevant departments.

The next benefit is that it is regularly updated, so it stays fresh, fast, and relevant. Many of the free open-source versions of Office 365 versions are old-fashioned and clunky, making them suboptimal solutions. The affordability of Office 365 cinches its superiority. It really isn't worth going for the free option in a business setting since the paid suite performs so much better.

Another popular Microsoft IT solution is Microsoft Azure. This is a suite of cloud services that lets companies use their own tools to develop, manage, and deploy their own apps on Microsoft's global network. The company says that its network is "massive," which makes it so that your apps can be delivered far and wide with ease.

Not as many companies need Microsoft Azure as Office 365. This is because Azure is used by software developers, and many companies don't develop any software at all. Every company, however, does need to take care of general office duties like checking email, writing letters, and keeping track of accounting records. That said, for those that do develop apps, Microsoft Azure is a must-have that they wouldn't do without.
