Simplified Business Integration Content Access | File Transfer | Team Collaboration | Email MICROSOFT OFFFICE 365 Enterprise E3 WHITE PAPER Simplified Business Integration with Microsoft 365 Office Enterprise E3 and OneDrive Cloud Service Jihye W. Muniz | February 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In today’s tech driven world, it is imperative to invest in tools and resources that Cloud service is an integrated online infrastructure that give users the ability to consummate effective solutions in running business operations. The problem is store, access, and manage information and data instead of storing them locally on that when business owners resort to purchasing multiple software, hardware, the computer’s hard drive. This computing service that is handled by physical or and applications for their business needs, it results in extensive costs and virtual servers not only frees up physical storage space but provides more security burdensome upkeeping of the latest versions, installations, and individual than if you were to store data conventionally. This white paper will highlight the payment methods. Time and productivity are also negatively affected; often challenges you may currently face in running your business and exploit the times, businesses have collaboration tools that differ in storage model, user benefits of utilizing the Microsoft 365 Office Enterprise E3 package. MS O365 E3 authentication, user interface, and content organization/format/addressing is a cloud-based suite of productivity applications that are also available in which causes a conflict in long-term collaboration. Technology giants such as desktop versions combined with OneDrive Cloud service, built in advanced Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM – to name a few, have emerged with Cloud security features, and more. This paper will also address the MS O365 advantages services to address these issues. over other cloud services to assist you in making an informative decision. Internal Business Perspective Elements of Business Some of the most important elements of a business include and not limited to the value proposition, cost structure, customer relations, revenue stream, key resources, channels, customer segments, and key activities. Importance of Key Activities What should also be taken into great consideration, is how those key activities are being performed – is your business operating in the most time effective and productivity induced manner? 2/15/2020 Long Term Collaboration Conflict Collaboration tools that differ in storage model, user authentication, user interface, and content organization/format/addressing causes a conflict in long-term collaboration. Protecting Sensitive Data Protecting the information flows of the business, in conjunction with sensitive data such as personal information of your clients, employees, and key partners must be taken as a priority. Without the right protection, data can be easily compromised. 3 24/7 Data Backup and Accessibility Microsoft Office products are the most commonly used desktop applications in the office, school, and in any environment that requires the usage of a computer. Obtaining the Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 package may be the ideal solution to maximize your business output. Here are some of the key identifiable solutions to your current operational needs. Financial Flexibility The Microsoft Office Enterprise E3 plan provides an integrated platform that provides the ease of use for all users while providing the productivity tools and security that is detrimental for your business. The cost is economically priced at $20/month per user with an annual commitment. Without the need of any upfront costs, this solution would be a great fit into your monthly budget. The all-in-one package allows you to avoid the financial burden of investing in additional resources such as hardware/software. Each user is allotted 5TB of cloud storage space. This solution will eliminate your current storage space limitation of utilizing a physical storage space in office, in which you are running the risk of exposing sensitive data if not properly secured. The risk of exposing sensitive data may also occur during relocation and in the process of transfer. Another important factor to consider is the possibility of losing access to important data in case of a server crash, natural disaster, and/or human error of misplacing them. Microsoft Office 365 online portal is available 24/7 and can be accessed from anywhere where there is an internet connection, and on any device. A maximum of 5 different devices can be used by the same user, increasing the convenience of accessing the account from a cellular device, tablet, laptop, desktop at work and at home. Collaboration Method Utilizing different resources and/or software to complete a project can be burdensome and is not the best way to spend your valuable time. Office 365 will provide all the tools you need in an all-in-one package. All resources can be found on the online portal; documents in collaboration can be easily located in the shared folder. MS Word offers the ability for the author of the document to input permissions and restrictions on other users to view and edit the document, and to track those changes. The user may also use the “block authors” option to eliminate others to make changes when enabled. Manage access privileges to documents when sharing documents from the portal. Work on projects on the go by accessing the online version of MS office products on your tablet/laptop. 4 How your business could benefit from Microsoft Office 365 This Cloud Based Service provides collaboration with different tools allowing data and files to be easily organized, accessed, stored, and searched with an architecture that integrates both desktop and server-centric tools. FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE $20 user/month (annual commitment) With no upfront costs, it is easier to fit this solution into your monthly budget. Scalable solution that allows you to manage the number of users. Data Security and Control is also included in the plan. Communication tools such as Skype for Business now implements web conferencing with desktop/file sharing features along with instant messaging. Meetings can happen anywhere, without complications. The SharePoint also includes a variety of team interaction areas such as including blogs, wiki, and supports collaboration on a set of files or documents for internal communication. COMMUNICATION TOOLS AVOID LICENCING MESS DATA SECURITY & CONTROL Advanced Threat Analytics scans malicious email links & attachments. Ability to remotely wipe data if device is lost. Office 365 is one of the few cloud services to receive the “highest rating of Skyhigh Enterprise-Ready based on an objective assessment of its security controls.” All users will have the same updated version of Office 365 including all licensing and deployable company wide without having to upgrade anything. You also have the option to mix and match plans to suit the needs of your users. Collaboration activities that are done effectively and in a time-effective manner increases productivity of the business and boosts client satisfaction. All files are loaded onto the cloud and will be available to you and your team 24/7. Synchronized contents will automatically update across all devices allowing realtime team collaboration. Update the status of assigned tasks and keep organized with the Planner. TEAM COLLABORATION & PRODUCTIVITY 5 Why Security should be a Priority for your Business Microsoft 365 Office has built in security and continuous compliance. The Advanced Threat Analytics feature uses analytics and machine learning to detect and alert suspicious behavior over the network and scans for malicious links or attachments on emails to prevent data breach. There are four levels of external sharing (Anyone, New and Existing external users, Existing external users, and only people in your organization), which allows you to have complete control of how your users can share contents via OneDrive and Sharepoint. Additional security features, such as being able to configure document policies, content lock down, and managing device access are also available. The following analyzed data is on the cloud data usage from Skyhigh Cloud Access Security Broker for over 27 million users in over 600 enterprise locations. Types of Sensitive Data Stored in OneDrive and SharePoint Online 9.4% 2/15/2020 Confidential data 4.1% Personally Identifiable Info 1.9% Payment Information Coles, C.(2019) Office 365 Adoption Rate, Stats and Usage. Skyhigh Networks. Retrieved from https://www.skyhighnetworks.com/cloud-securityblog/7-charts-reveal-the-meteoric-rise-of-office-365/ 6 Google G-Suite Enterprise vs. Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 Google G Suite, most commonly known as Google Apps is Microsoft Office 365’s biggest competitor. Both use the same platform of utilizing the cloud for file and sharing storage and have similar features used for productivity and collaboration. Gsuite’s Enterprise plan offers an unlimited file storage space on plans with more than 5 users while Office 365 offers a limited storage space of 5TB on the Enterprise E3 plan; which still equates to 4000 billion pages assuming there are 500 8 char words per page - This should be adequate for a medium sized business. The Microsoft Outlook email service consists of 100GB of mailbox storage per user and most importantly protects the integrity of your documents being sent with the Rights Management Service. This service allows you to restrict the access to documents to specific people and prevents anyone from viewing or editing that is sent to anyone. You will also be able to secure confidentiality of your data with the option to encrypt emails so that it is unreadable by unauthorized personnel; the recipient is able to retrieve the encrypted email by first authenticating their identity and requesting a one-time passcode that has been created through the Microsoft 365 Protected Message Viewer Portal. This advanced security option of encrypted emailing service is unfortunately unavailable with G-Suite. Functionality of the Applications The G-Suite office applications are comparable to the Microsoft Office 365 products. However, when taking an in-depth look at each application, the functionality will come down to the features they offer. G-Suite’s office applications are only available on the portal while full desktop versions that can be worked while offline, are included with 365 which is a huge convenience factor to your users. The portal works fine but usually used as an alternative method - in case the desktop documents happen to be unavailable. There is a total of 1.2 billion office users world-wide; summing that these are the most common desktop applications. When it comes down to the functionality of the applications, Office 365 is a clear winner. For example, you are able to add more creativity in MS Word Documents and PowerPoint and do advanced formulation through Excel. Email feature is the most detrimental communication tool utilized in any organization. Gmail offers a robust searching function which is almost expected by Google but Microsoft outlook provides a lot more flexibility in managing your email in sorting, grouping, and labeling. 2/15/2020 Comparison charts retrieved from https://clean-clouds.com/2017/09/30/office-365-or-g-suite-what-is-the-right-choice-for-my-business/ 7 Analyzing usage of over 20,000 cloud services, 58.4% Of Sensitive Data in the cloud is stored in Microsoft Office Documents Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft Word Microsoft Outlook (MSG, PST) Microsoft Excel Adobe PDF 79.1% One Drive for Business has the Highest penetration rate of organizations with minimum of 100 users 18.6% Also has highest usage rate of all enterprise employees actively using it 2/15/2020 Other Microsoft 365 OneDrive Advantages over Google Drive and other cloud storages Microsoft occupies the top spot in cloud usage rankings by user account. Microsoft has a proactive approach by having fault tolerance built into their data centers; making sure to always have a data center to become the primary node if one is to crash. This allows OneDrive to offer a minimum of 99.97% uptime - the continuous availability of their platform, and limit potential downtime to 25.9 seconds per day. This only equates to only about 0.0002% of cloud dependency per year. Have international companies? Thanks to OneDrive having data centers around the world, their storage platform is available on every continent which will allow you to meet the data residency requirements per geolocation. Also, the OneDrive sync client is available across multiple operating systems. Coles, C.(2019) Office 365 Adoption Rate, Stats and Usage. Skyhigh Networks. Retrieved from https://www.skyhighnetworks.com/cloud-securityblog/7-charts-reveal-the-meteoric-rise-of-office-365/ 8 ”Total 1.2 Billion Office Users Worldwide. 60 Million Monthly Active Office 354 commercial users. 50,000 small business customers added each month.” Microsoft Office 365 platform continues to grow but there are certain disadvantages that the business owner should be aware of. Since Office 365 is cloud based, the online portal will not be accessible if the internet in your business were to go down, which will cause disruption to your work. However, the desktop applications can be worked on while off-line and the portal can still be accessed on devices that use cellular service such as tablets and mobile phones. Connecting laptops to near-by wi-fi connections or to a mobile hot-spot will also be another method to gain internet service as a workaround. The Enterprise E3 plan comes with numerous of applications and security features that are highly recommended to utilize Office 365 to its full potential but not all users may use these. In this case, you do have the option to move those users to a cheaper plan as you can mix and match plan options; an annual commitment is required but not to a specific plan. This can also be viewed as a once a year billing instead of worrying about the bill on a monthly basis. Microsoft Office 365 Enterprise E3 plan will be the right decision for you if you are looking for a cloud-based solution with all around functionality, security, and the ease of use with most applications that users are already familiar with. Keep in mind, in order to have the security feature for your entire business, you must purchase the plan includes it or you may purchase it a la carte. Microsoft continues to implement new features and functionalities to assist in making running business operations intuitively as possible. Callaham, J.
