Information sharing: easy access to files and documents

Break down barriers and increase collaboration

If you have people who work in the field, on the go, or from their homes or other remote locations, you'll know how challenging it can be to get information sharing right. You want to be sure everyone can get the files and documents they need to be efficient and productive. You want to foster collaboration among dispersed individuals and teams. You may even need to share documents with customers, partners or suppliers.
At the same time, however, you want to avoid:

• The data security risks that can occur when content is accessed or moved around in an uncontrolled way
• The version control problems that can arise when multiple copies of a document are edited at the same time
• The potential consequences of people relying on unmanaged or out-of-date information, such as last year's price lists or product specs

Make sharing easy and secure. With familiar apps and tools.

By combining familiar office productivity apps with capabilities that allow authorised users to share files and access the information they need, you'll help people to do their jobs more effectively — confident that your organisation's content remains properly protected and secure.
With Microsoft 365 in the cloud, users can easily access and share a wide range of content and information — files, folders, documents, spreadsheets, photos, videos, audio files presentations and more — any time, any place, on any device — including mobiles. So they're less likely to store their own versions locally, and more likely to use and work with up-to-date content that's maintained and stored centrally.
Because Microsoft 365 apps are seamlessly integrated, users can easily collaborate live using audio, video and messaging options. They can also share and update content and information in real time. For example, a Word or Excel document can be shared and annotated live during a Skype or Teams videoconference; while groups can collaborate securely and efficiently on projects via Teams, and store files and folders centrally using OneDrive or SharePoint Online.

To help you safeguard your content, Microsoft 365 in the cloud is integrated with Azure Active Directory, giving you full control over identity and access management across both your cloud and on-prem environments.
