Looking for Essential Business Software? Microsoft 365 Has You Covered
What kind of productivity suite does your business use for its day-to-day operations? It doesn’t really matter which industry you classify yourself as or what size your company is; a productivity suite will undoubtedly transform the way your organization operates. Let’s take a look at some of the most common applications found in productivity suites and how they can be powerful catalysts to get work done faster and more efficiently.
Keep in mind that these “office” tools, as they will be referred to from here on out, will largely consist of the same types of applications, just with different names. We’ll use Microsoft Office as an example, but you can apply similar logic and functionality to Google Apps and other productivity suites.
Microsoft Word
With a word processor like Microsoft Word, you can create all of the documents your business might need to succeed. You might need to write up contracts, letters of hire, physical mailings, and other important documents, all to keep your operations running. A word processor makes this process much easier and more dynamic, unlike the simple tools provided by Windows, such as Notepad or Wordpad.
Microsoft Excel
The ability to build spreadsheets and charts is extremely important to provide a visual tool for examining data, but they are helpful for much more than that. They can be used to build budgets, analyze statistics, and so much more. If you have good spreadsheet software, you’ll find that comparing or viewing data is easier than ever.
Microsoft PowerPoint
A successful business often must put together presentations, be they for their potential clients or for their employees. With slideshow software like Microsoft PowerPoint, you can create more dynamic slideshows to keep your audience engaged.
Microsoft Outlook
An email solution is absolutely crucial to the success of your business, and most productivity suites will come with an email solution to leverage to your advantage. An email system gives your business a professional outlet for people to ask questions or inquire about your goods and services.
Other Office Tools
Productivity suites also hold a lot of other tools for your business to use, like note-taking applications, publication editing, meeting and communication software, and so on. If you know which tools you want and need to use, you can look for a productivity suite that provides all of those tools; anything else is extra and might be fun to experiment with, provided you aren’t paying extra for it.
