Many schools and trusts across the UK are making the strategic decision to transition from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. This shift isn’t just about adopting a new platform; it’s about unlocking better tools for collaboration, achieving stronger security, and seamlessly integrating with existing systems to create a unified digital learning environment.
Why Make the Move?
Microsoft 365 offers a rich suite of tools, including Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint, that enable staff and students to collaborate more effectively. Whether it’s real-time co-authoring in Word or managing class materials in Teams, these tools are designed to simplify workflows and foster teamwork.
Education organisations are prime targets for cyber threats. Microsoft 365’s robust security features, such as multi-factor authentication, conditional access, and built-in data encryption, provide peace of mind for IT teams. These tools work seamlessly to protect your data and ensure compliance with UK education regulations.
Microsoft 365 integrates easily with widely used tools such as SIMS, MIS systems, and Azure, creating a connected ecosystem that supports both teaching and operational needs.
