Microsoft 365 Microsoft 365 # One Platform for Everything Your Team Needs Microsoft 365 brings together email, collaboration, file storage, and security in a single cloud platform. It's the backbone of modern work, and we set it up right. Whether you're migrating from Google Workspace, upgrading from on-premise Exchange, or starting fresh, StartCloud handles every step so your team can focus on what they do best. [Get Started with M365](/contact)[See What's Included](#m365-how) The Basics ## What Is Microsoft 365? Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based productivity suite that gives your team the tools to work together, stay secure, and access everything from anywhere. ### Work from Anywhere Access your files, emails, and apps from any device, whether you're at home, in the office, or on the road. Your workspace travels with you. ### Real-Time Collaboration Edit documents together with your team and see changes as they happen. No more emailing files back and forth or wondering who has the latest version. ### Secure by Design Enterprise-grade security protects your data with multi-factor authentication, encryption, and built-in threat detection, all without extra cost. Why It Matters ## The Cost of Sticking with Outdated Tools Disconnected systems and legacy software hold your team back. Here's what businesses deal with before making the move. ### Scattered Tools, Scattered Teams When your team uses different apps for email, chat, files, and meetings, things fall through the cracks. Information gets siloed and people waste time switching between tools. ### Outdated Software Risks Running old versions of Office or on-premise Exchange leaves you vulnerable to security threats and compatibility issues. Patching and maintenance eat up valuable time. ### Data Security Gaps Without proper cloud security, sensitive files get shared carelessly, devices go unmanaged, and you have no visibility into who is accessing what. Our Approach ## Everything You Need, All in One Place Microsoft 365 isn't just Office apps. It's a complete ecosystem that covers communication, collaboration, security, and device management. 1 ### Microsoft Teams Chat, video calls, and meetings in one place. Share files, collaborate on documents, and stay connected with your team wherever they are. 2 ### SharePoint & Intranets Your company hub for documents, news, and team sites. Organise files so everyone can find what they need without asking around. 3 ### OneDrive Cloud Storage Personal cloud storage that syncs across every device. Save files once, access them from anywhere, and let automatic backups keep your work safe. 4 ### Microsoft Intune Manage all your devices from one dashboard. Set security policies, deploy apps, and keep company data protected, even on personal phones. 5 ### Office Apps Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, the tools your team already knows. Now with real-time co-authoring and cloud access built in. 6 ### Exchange Online Business email with 50 GB mailboxes, shared calendars, and built-in spam filtering. Reliable, professional, and fully managed in the cloud. ![Microsoft Solutions Partner for Modern Work](/assets/microsoft-solutions-partner-DqvNMv91.png "Microsoft Solutions Partner: Modern Work") ### Microsoft Solutions Partner Modern Work Designation StartCloud holds the Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for Modern Work, recognising our proven capability in deploying and managing Microsoft 365, Teams, and Copilot solutions for Australian businesses.
