Microsoft 365 offers more than tools on the cloud. Microsoft 365 offers opportunities to improve your efficiency and transform your traditional methods into modern collaborative practices. In addition to providing access to your information at anytime and anywhere through mobility, it simplifies your business processes as well as the management of your day-to-day activities.

In this step by step training, you will learn how to take advantage of the many Microsoft 365 tools built into Teams.

In addition, you will learn how to facilitate collaboration with tools like OneDrive, Teams sites and OneNote. You will explore new personal and team management tools like Planner and To Do and we will teach you how to take advantage of the mobile tools when you travel and telework.
