The role of Microsoft 365 and Surface in boosting productivity

How the two work hand-in-hand
A major benefit for both employers and employees who use Microsoft 365 with Surface devices is productivity. 

The simple fact is that businesses across all sectors are facing increased competition from other companies and organisations, both in retaining staff and in attracting customers and clients.

Marketing efforts and campaigns across different platforms often make it difficult to create a clear overview of success rates and business activity, while the different roles of different teams within your business can sometimes mean that businesses become unconnected at their core.

In response, when used together Microsoft 365 and Surface devices create a means through which connectivity is built into the heart of each device. Not only can all employees access the business tools they need from their own device, but they can stay connected with each other through the networking apps – understanding how each team comes together as part of the bigger picture and encouraging greater collaboration between different departments and teams.

In conclusion – are Microsoft 365 and Surface better together?

For starters, with Microsoft Surface devices designed and built to be used in unison with the Microsoft software, users – whether private or as part of a business package – will always find that the Surface devices are best suited to every app supplied by the Microsoft package.

365 is Microsoft’s most comprehensive offering of applications and tools, making it the most cost efficient way of enhancing each device that you own and run and bringing them together under a single cloud computing software. And when those devices are Microsoft Surface devices, not only will the applications work seamlessly but they will benefit from automated updates and upgrades, better security, and a high-quality user interface and integration process.
