Hybrid working: how to make the most of Microsoft 365-CHARITY DIGITAL

We explore the importance of Microsoft 365 in the age of hybrid working and how it can help charities work more efficiently

Operating in the Cloud, Microsoft 365 offers charities much more flexibility. The Cloud stores your data remotely and securely, giving employees 24/7 access to their documents, and itÂ’s very cost-effective.

With the Cloud, there is no having to download documents and reupload them – you and your team can edit them as you go, with complete visibility of any changes and with the knowledge that you’re all up to speed, increasing productivity.

It’s also more energy efficient than alternatives – though you can calculate its environmental footprint here.

The free versions of Microsoft 365 can provide charities with the essentials they need, but eligible organisations can also get access to a discounted version of the premium subscription software through the Charity Digital Exchange.

Decoding Microsoft Nonprofit Eligibility- CHARITY DIGITAL

Microsoft have some great offers on discounted tech for charities. Find out whether your organisation is eligible

With the move to working from home, Microsoft Teams has now reached this level of ubiquity. Even before the pandemic, we highlighted how cloud-based solutions allowed for increased communication and collaboration. Now, Teams has become a fixture of many charitiesÂ’ daily operations – allowing staff to keep in touch and work together via instant messaging chat, video conferencing capabilities and quick-and-easy file sharing.

These products have allowed many charities to make a smooth transition to a remote working model, and continue to offer their vital services amidst a climate of challenges and disruptions.

Most of us probably take access to these solutions as a given. But charity digital leaders will need to make decisions when it comes to sourcing software and licenses for employees. There are a number of Microsoft products available at a discounted rate through the Charity Digital Product Platform and Exchange Programme. These can allow organisations (particularly smaller charities with limited budgets) to gain access to important software at affordable rates.
