Email remains a primary driver of communications at most organisations, but the way we work has changed dramatically. We read and send emails from home, the grocery store, and the cafe using whatever device is most convenient in the moment: phone, laptop, tablet. Sometimes we don't have a dedicated office, or dedicated IT teams. Working from multiple locations using multiple devices means that security on those devices and their doorways into your systems needs to be super locked down and manageable centrally. Remember that time your staff member lost their laptop and you had to suddenly figure out if it was going to create a major security risk for your organisation? That is exactly why Connecting Up strongly recommends not-for-profits move their email and other critical systems to the cloud, and Office 365 is the most popular cloud software available through Connecting Up.Posted on 06/10/2021 by -
