The Hidden Benefits of Microsoft 365 for Publishers
In the dynamic world of publishing, managing digital assets and ensuring data security are paramount. A recent case study sheds light on why Microsoft 365 suite of products is becoming increasingly valuable for publishers of all sizes, even smaller organizations.
Control Access to Your Data
Consider this scenario: One of our client’s employees departed from the company, desperate to retrieve their files. Thanks to the organization's use of SharePoint, OneDrive, and Outlook, the situation was handled smoothly. With just the employee's email address, access to all systems was immediately frozen. The company retained access to all work-related data without the need for further communication with the former staff member. This level of control allowed the CEO to carefully review and determine which files constituted company intellectual property before sharing anything with the ex-employee.
The Problem with Free Software
This seamless process stands in stark contrast to the potential complications that can arise when using personal accounts on platforms like Google. In such cases, companies often find themselves in the uncomfortable position of requesting data from former employees, frequently encountering excuses and delays.
Publishers Need Uncompressed File Transfers
Beyond data security, Microsoft 365 offers significant advantages in file management. For publishers dealing with large media files, maintaining quality is crucial. Unlike some free platforms that may compress uploads, Microsoft 365 allows for the storage of uncompressed files. This feature is particularly vital for raw pictures and video files, ensuring that editors have access to the highest quality assets for producing premium content.
Live Support
Perhaps one of the most underappreciated benefits of Microsoft 365 is its superior customer support. While free, self-service platforms often leave users to fend for themselves when issues arise, Microsoft offers comprehensive assistance. The speaker recounts experiences of direct collaboration with Microsoft engineers to troubleshoot client issues, sometimes even resulting in the creation of specific patches to address software problems. This level of support is invaluable for minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth operations in the fast-paced publishing world.

While free platforms may seem attractive, especially for smaller organizations, the benefits of using Microsoft 365 can far outweigh the costs. By investing in these tools, publishers can protect their intellectual property, maintain the integrity of their digital assets, and ensure they have the robust support needed to keep their operations running smoothly in an increasingly digital landscape.
