Microsoft Office 365: Supporting Features
One of the primary aims of Office 365 is to facilitate sharing of information and collaboration of geographically disparate teams. Several features have been included in different packages of Office 365 to assist with this including Lync, an online communication tool for instant messaging and webinars; a SharePoint site for team information and files; the option to create a public website; and to have Office 365 handle all emails.
Users may also choose to save their files on OneDrive. OneDrive is essentially a remote server managed by Microsoft onto which all files and documents may be saved.
This course is designed to introduce you to all of these supporting features in an effort to maximize your use of the Office 365 Suite.
With our extensive knowledge of the different software currently on the market, including all Microsoft and Adobe applications, ON-TRACK Corporate Training Ltd. has a diverse and flexible schedule that can be customized to your needs – we offer group course (both public and corporate), one-on-one training, and on-site training options.
