What Hosted Office 365 can do for Credit Unions
Are you thinking about moving to Office 365 at your credit union? Have you already made the switch? If you answered “yes”, you may consider having it hosted for you. There are many benefits to managed solutions for productivity suites.
For example, you might ask, “Why hosted Office 365? Can’t we do this ourselves?”
The short answer is yes. But here’s the thing: mundane IT duties, such as migration, onboarding, server maintenance, and fielding calls to troubleshoot emails detract from higher order work. The people often tasked with productivity upkeep already have a lot on their plate.
Fortunately, not every credit union needs a full of experts on board to help manage their software. Managed solutions free up IT staff to work on bigger projects. So, if you’d like your IT department to get ahead instead of merely catch up, hosted Office 365 might be for you.
Making the Switch
If you’re still using a legacy version of Microsoft Office, the move to Office 365 might sound daunting. Handling migration in-house will stretch your IT department thin.
Fortunately, hosted Office 365 means seamless migration with absolute minimal downtime. For credit unions who haven’t yet moved to the cloud, the first measurable benefit of opting for a hosted solution is the headache-free transition. Your IT department will be free to continue working on higher-level services while we do all the heavy lifting to get you on board.
Already on Office 365?
If you’re already using Microsoft’s cloud, or if we’ve helped you get situated with it, this is where the real magic begins. Using a hosted solution means a world of committed support and protection. Some of the largest benefits to your credit union include:
- Increased security
- Dedicated support team
- Monitoring
- Streamlining the onboarding process
- Manage accounts
Although Office 365 is a very secure platform, nothing in the world is completely hack-proof. Add the possibility of human error (or phishing attacks), and even Microsoft’s robust built-in security needs a little help. The extra layer of protection provided by a host keeps you and your credit union safe.
One of the other great things about managed productivity suites is that they’re managed. If you need a new user account set up, you don’t have to go through the frustrating, time-intensive process to create, connect, and test the account yourself. Instead, your Office 365 host can perform that duty for you quickly and reliably, without needing to stress IT about it.
Productivity Is the Name of the Game
At the end of the day, you want your productivity software to work for you, not for you to work for it. The easiest way to ensure maximal productivity and minimal downtime is to get an expert to run it for you. It’s safer, more efficient, and much faster.
