4 Reasons why Business Leaders Choose Microsoft 365
Why Microsoft 365 and why now?
Microsoft 365 technology helps organizations achieve more with world-class security, collaborative apps, and intelligent cloud solutions. For the 5th consecutive year, Microsoft has been recognized as a leader (top right quadrant) in multiple Gartner Magic Quadrants, including Endpoint Protection and Cloud AI Developer Services. IT leaders are recognizing Microsoft 365 security solutions as strong options for consolidating 3rd party tools, increasing Microsoft licensing ROI, and streamlining technologies. With everything needed for effective intra-organizational communication and collaboration, Microsoft 365 continues to be a top choice for organizations of all sizes, across industries, backed with advanced security every step of the way.
While the applications for word processing, spreadsheet calculations, and slide presentations are comparable to other productivity suites, Microsoft 365 sets itself apart in other ways.
Our team compiled a list of the TOP 4 REASONS business leaders are choosing Microsoft 365 over competing productivity suites– let’s run through them!
- SECURITY
First and foremost, Microsoft 365 was designed with cloud security in mind. With built-in security features, such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Privileged Identity Management (PIM), advanced threat protection, conditional access, and Single Sign-On (SSO), Microsoft pulls out all the stops to protect customer organizations.
- Single-Vendor Approach
Streamline IT operations with the plan to remove unnecessary 3rd party vendors with Microsoft 365! Microsoft has all the tools to keep your business operations safe and productive. Take the next step to simplify your infrastructure, architecture, technology management, and security solutions with ONE vendor. Scale your security operations with everything you need under one umbrella!
- Cost and Budgets
Eliminate redundant solutions, support IT operations with partner services, and protect your users with Microsoft 365. Offering a variety of subscription plans to fit the size and needs of your organization, we connect you with the tools and resources that help you identify and pay for what you need. You can track resource usage and manage costs across your organization in a single, unified view. Many competing solutions often require additional third-party services that lead to unexpected costs.
- End User Management
Microsoft 365 protects your people, apps, devices, and data with a ZERO TRUST security approach…trust nothing, verify everything! Microsoft and Forsyte approach security with NO additional required solutions. Microsoft recognizes the importance of following the end-users at the identity level – we stress the importance of tracking end-users wherever they go and whatever device they use to log into your organization. Get peace of mind with trusted security that protects the business without disrupting work. Microsoft’s security policies, such as MFA and SSO, secure end users whether they are working – from the office, traveling the globe, or simply working remotely.
Whether it be to meet security and compliance requirements, simplify workflow, or minimize costs, there are many reasons why IT leaders are choosing the combination of Microsoft 365 + Forsyte I.T. Solutions. At Forsyte, we have seen an influx in organizations looking to migrate away from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) and onto Microsoft 365 to curb costs and security vulnerabilities.
Why are more organizations considering migrating away from Google Workspace?
- Google is increasing its costs for all industries
- NOTE: Education was excluded from rising costs, but not anymore
- More Google storage will likely now be accompanied by additional fees
- Cloud-only applications limit user access
- Security and data protection is not included in the basic setup
