Whether you’re a growing small business or a well-established organization, chances are you’ve used Microsoft Office at some point. But Office 365—now known as Microsoft 365—is more than just Word and Excel. It’s a complete, cloud-based productivity suite designed to power modern businesses from anywhere.
At Red Barn, we help our clients get more out of Microsoft 365 by tailoring it to their unique needs and backing it with reliable support. Here’s why it remains a top choice—and how we make it even better.
☁️ Cloud-Based, Always Updated
Gone are the days of buying boxed software and waiting years for the next version. Microsoft 365 lives in the cloud, which means:
- You’re always running the latest version of every app
- Your files are stored securely in OneDrive or SharePoint and accessible anywhere
- You can collaborate with teammates in real-time—even remotely
🧰 The Core Tools You Know—Supercharged
Microsoft 365 includes:
- Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook – the familiar suite, now faster, smarter, and more connected
- Teams – a communication hub that blends chat, video, file sharing, and scheduling
- OneNote – digital notebooks for personal and team brainstorming
- SharePoint & OneDrive – centralized document storage with secure sharing and version control
- Exchange Online – professional email with advanced spam filtering and calendar syncing
These tools work together to eliminate silos and improve collaboration across departments and devices.
🔐 Built-In Security Features (That Still Need Strategy)
Microsoft has invested heavily in security—and it shows. With features like:
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP)
- Advanced Threat Protection (ATP)
- Mobile Device Management (MDM)
you’ve got powerful tools to protect users, data, and access points.
But here’s the key: tools are only as good as how they’re configured. That’s where Red Barn steps in—to help you activate the right protections, ensure compliance, and train your team to use the platform securely.
