‘Appy Days for Office 365

Office 365 users can tap into the Office Store’s app inventory to customise Office 365.

The facility enables authorised users to install apps from the Office 365 store.

Popular apps include Microsoft’s “Bing Maps”, which detects addresses in email content and gives users options to open maps within Outlook Web Acces (OWA). Another app which admins love is a tool for rendering email headers, which for some reason Microsoft have made so difficult for engineers to access in later versions of Outlook.

The real value comes for organisations whose admins can install apps within their Office 365 environment, and either make apps optionally available to end users, or push apps directly to end user accounts. This “server room” capability hints at Office 365’s more extensive features available to administrators, who have access to Exchange 2013’s full suite of management tools, which range from user account management to archiving policies and even options for managing, restricting, or wiping data on user’s connected mobile phones and tablets,  following loss or theft.

For a thirty trial of Office 365, or for a demonstration of services, please contact Steve Galloway on 07834 461 266.
