How to Work at Home During Coronavirus

Equipment needed

Working at home can be very simple, depending on the resources you have, you can work with very little disruption to your business. The two main factors everyone needs to consider are; communication and collaboration.

When it comes to communication Dolphin Solutions recommend Microsoft Teams, which is currently free from Microsoft (click here to download). Teams has many fantastic tools; such as individual and group file sharing, audio and video calls, as well as screen sharing. Teams becomes even more powerful with an Office 365 licence, which allows users to collaborate on documents such as PowerPoints, word documents and excel sheets; also included with Office 365 is OneDrive, this makes working over multiple devices very easy due to all your documents being stored safely, in one place – the cloud.

An alternative to Office 365 is Google Drive, which is an online file storing, sharing, and editing tool; Google Drive comes with some basic web apps that are comparable to limited versions of the core Office 365 apps; there are also restrictions when it comes to Google Drive’s storage capabilities. For the time being, under the current circumstances, Google Drive may offer an extremely useful, if limited, alternative to Office 365 to many people working from home.

We are currently offering a free Office 365 consulting session to help you get the most out of your Microsoft Office 365 subscription. Click here to visit our contact page.
