1. Access from anywhere
No need to VPN. Should I even say more? Just like Gmail and
Wikipedia, you can access SharePoint and Office 365 from any computer
with Wi-Fi and a browser. No need to mess around with VPN tokens, and
passwords – you can access SharePoint from any device and any location.
2. Security
OK, I am not a security expert by any means, but I laugh when a
client tells me that their in-house server is safer than Microsoft’s
one. I can think of a handful of companies that can match the might and
technical capabilities of Microsoft. You can read more about security in
SharePoint and Office 365
here.
3. Predictable costs
With SharePoint Online and Office 365 you
pay per user per license.
So the math is pretty simple. Just multiply the number of users by the
cost of your plan’s license and that is the cost you would pay. Period.
No more guessing and when the server will need the replacement and
anything like that.
4. You cannot beat the value
No other tool offers you more bang for the buck. I remember when I
signed up for my own Office 365 account, I “just” paid for SharePoint
and OneDrive – because that’s what was included in the plan back then. I
paid like $11 for my license per month. Today, for the same money, I
have Yammer,
Teams,
Office 365 Groups,
Planner,
Microsoft Flow,
PowerApps,
Power BI.
WOW! It is like you marry a guy who lived with parents all the time and
then it turns out that he can cook, starts to make good money and is
good looking as well!
5. Gets better by the day
Just like a good bottle of wine, that gets better with age. Improvements are happening
daily and are more in tune with ever-changing requirements and reality.
