What are the Most Popular Microsoft Office 365 Applications?

The most popular Microsoft Office 365 applications may be ones that you’re not aware of. It’s important to note that we’re excluding the obvious (eg: Word, Excel, Power Point). Besides those, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly turning to Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and OneNote to streamline communication, collaboration, and document management.

Microsoft Teams

First, Microsoft Teams is a cloud-based collaboration platform that brings together chat, video conferencing, file storage, and application integration in one place. It allows SMBs to communicate and collaborate in real-time, regardless of location. For example, team members can hold virtual meetings, share documents, and work on projects together using Microsoft Teams.

SharePoint + OneDrive

Second, SharePoint is a web-based platform that allows SMBs to store, share, and manage documents across the entire company. It also provides tools for creating websites, intranets, and extranets. SMBs can use SharePoint to store and share documents, such as contracts, invoices, training material, videos, marketing materials (and more), and to collaborate on projects with team members and clients.

Similar to SharePoint, OneDrive is also a cloud-based file storage and sharing service but for the individual user. Through integrations with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, it allows SMBs to share, store, and access files from anywhere and on any device. OneDrive also provides features such as file versioning, so multiple team members can edit the same document at the same time, track document changes, and initiate file recovery.

OneNote

Finally, OneNote is a note-taking and organization tool that is integrated with Microsoft Teams and SharePoint. It allows SMBs to create notebooks, write notes, and organize information in a flexible and easy-to-use format. OneNote also provides features such as the ability to add multimedia, such as audio recordings and images, to notes, and the ability to share notebooks with team members and clients.
