Businesses today are looking for solutions that boost productivity, simplify collaboration, and enhance security. Microsoft 365 Business Premium offers an integrated platform tailored for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to achieve these goals efficiently. As Microsoft 365 specialists with proven migration expertise, Veracloud helps companies fully leverage this powerful suite.

Beyond Traditional Office Apps: What Is Microsoft 365 Business Premium?

Many recognise Microsoft Office apps such as Word and Excel. However, Microsoft 365 Business Premium is more than these familiar tools. Think of it as a complete subscription that combines these apps with cloud services, communication platforms, and robust security features. This integration is designed to simplify your IT environment, improve workflow, and safeguard your business data.

Core Components Driving Business Success

• Microsoft Office Suite: Access the latest Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, and Access across devices.
• Microsoft Teams: A central hub for communication and collaboration, combining chat, video calls, file sharing, and app integration.
• SharePoint Online: Securely manage documents and create intranet portals that keep your team connected.
• OneDrive for Business: 1TB of personal cloud storage per user for secure, anywhere access to files.
• Microsoft Intune: Cloud-based management of mobile devices and apps to maintain control and security.
• Azure Active Directory Premium P1: Advanced identity and access management with conditional access and multi-factor authentication.
• Defender for Business: Enterprise-grade endpoint protection against malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats.

To put it simply, this suite creates a unified ecosystem supporting modern workstyles, whether onsite or remote while Veracloud’s expertise ensures you maximise the value of your subscription.

Enhancing Collaboration with Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is more than messaging. It’s a comprehensive platform where your team can communicate seamlessly via instant messages, audio, and video. Teams also supports real-time co-authoring of documents and integrates with numerous applications to streamline workflows. Veracloud, as Modern Workplace Enablement Specialists, configures Teams to fit your business processes, turning it into a true productivity driver.

Secure Cloud Storage and Document Collaboration

Data security and accessibility are critical. SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business provide robust solutions. SharePoint centralises documents with controlled access, enabling effective team collaboration. OneDrive ensures each user has secure, synchronised storage available from any device. This combination supports businesses in maintaining secure, flexible collaboration—key to modern work environments.

Endpoint Management and Security with Intune and Defender

Security is at the core of Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Microsoft Intune allows your business to manage and protect devices accessing company data, enforcing policies and even wiping lost or stolen devices remotely. Defender for Business delivers advanced threat protection to keep endpoints secure. Veracloud can guarantee these security measures are implemented according to best practices from the start.
