Microsoft Office 365 (Online) Conversion

Course overview

What you will learn

This course will highlight the new features in the Office 365 for Business suite. You can look at what the Cloud means for the way you work, access the portal and all the 365 tools (particularly OneDrive) from multiple devices for more flexible working. Skype for Business can help you collaborate and communicate and, used wisely, it can reduce email overload.

After a customised solution for your team? Contact us for details and availability – we can deliver this at your offices or at our training centre as a half-day or full day of training, depending on your needs. We can create something more bespoke for your organisation either to include your particular setup or to emphasise other Office 365 tools – just let us know what you need. If you would like to learn more about SharePoint and setting up a SharePoint Library, please see our in depth two-day SharePoint Essentials course.
