Many charities have decided they need the business agility and want the cost savings that come when moving to the cloud. But with the bewildering amount of contradictory information floating around on the Internet, not many really understand exactly what that means or what it entails.  Todosoftware services can help your charity clarify  that information and get Office 365 working for you and your charity.

Office 365 is a suite of cloud-based productivity services, which can include:

  • Office 365 ProPlus or Office 365 Business—the Office desktop client you already know and use, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote, with the added benefit of being licensed, deployed, and updated as a service. These applications are installed on your device, so they’re available even when you are offline. And you have the option to store data in the cloud.
  • Exchange Online for email & calendaring.
  • SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business for collaboration, websites, workflows, and enterprise file sync and share.
  • Skype for Business for voice, IM, meetings, and presence.
  • Yammer for social collaboration.

When you move to the cloud, headaches and time spent maintaining hardware and upgrading software are significantly reduced. Now you and your team can focus on the business rather than being a repair service. You have more time to spend improving business operations and launching agile initiatives

Instead of spending ever-larger portions of your capital budget on servers for email storage and workloads, you can think strategically and support business managers in a much more agile fashion, responding to their needs quickly.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that your on-premises systems aren’t inherently more secure than they’d be in the cloud, says Mark Anderson, founder of the INVNT/IP Global Consortium,
a group of governments and security experts solving the growing cyber theft problem. Many companies are routinely hacked and don’t know it, says Anderson, a tech visionary and founder
of Strategic News Service.

Security has grown into a full-time job, one requiring a team of experts, and the few experts available require hefty salaries. Microsoft hires the best and
brightest when it comes to thwarting security breaches, and we have the scale most companies can only dream about.

To keep Office 365 security at the pinnacle of industry standards, Microsoft’s dedicated security team uses processes such as the Security Development Lifecycle; traffic throttling; and preventing, detecting, and mitigating breaches that many companies don’t have the resources to ensure. And, Microsoft Office 365 has a 99.9 percent financially backed uptime guarantee.
Additionally, we staff industry-leading regulatory compliance experts. We know and keep up to date with the latest regulations and rules: HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley, Federal Information
Security Management Act (FISMA), ISO 27001, European Union (EU) Model Clauses, U.S.–EU Safe Harbor framework, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), and the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), just to name a few.
