Microsoft Office 365 Teams-Included with Business Applications

A comprehensive new way of sharing data and ideas from anywhere at anytime!

San Diego Computer Consulting can help you with an Office 365 Teams implementation. Teams is collaboration software that is built into the Office 365 office suite and comes with Business Premium.  We at SDCC use Microsoft Teams throughout the entire business day.

Teams collaboration software is designed to help your staff electronically group together to coordinate on projects, topics, online meetings, and other topic categories. Teams is much like Skype and Zoom. But instead of the chat being the primary focus of general conversation, Teams establishes the topic category as the primary focus.
By having the topic category be the primary focus, staff in your company can be grouped to work with other peers collaboratively via remote connection. The category becomes the focus of the group/team and then allows for everyone in the group to work back and forth to reach a goal.

Teams is very popular, and heavily used during times of remote connectivity – especially with large companies. Teams allows each topic category to become a workflow of ideas, concepts, information, and charting all in one place so that everyone has easy project access.

Included: One Drive for Business / Sharepoint

Microsoft Office 365 comes with OneDrive for Business, which is often referred to as SharePoint. Microsoft SharePoint is a very robust product as it provides file services from the cloud. In some cases, this relieves the need for an office file server. SharePoint is a very powerful cloud tool that should to be administrated by an IT Consultant or Cloud Service Provider. SharePoint allows you to put company file shares on the Cloud via the Microsoft network.

Microsoft 365 Support

As a Cloud Solution Provider, San Diego Computer Consulting provides support through Pax 8. Microsoft too, has support, but it is often a 24 to 48 hour delay for any trouble ticket. As a cloud solution provider, San Diego Computer Consulting works in partnership with Pax 8 as our cloud reseller. Pax 8 is a large reseller of cloud products. As a result, they get gold service from Microsoft and other cloud software vendors. We provide support on all Microsoft Office 365 applications through our partner for expedited service.

Training

When you login through the web to your Microsoft Office 365 portal, there is an entire section for training on the Microsoft Office suite. This is a very nice addition to the Office 365 portal. The training section includes videos and many other helpful features to make sure you and your staff are making the most of your Office 365 applications.
