Charity technology myth 4: Everyone needs an internet connection
False: You do not need an internet connection to use the apps in the Microsoft cloud.
Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based solution that includes downloadable desktop versions of all the Office apps. This enables your staff to download the desktop versions of all the Office applications they need, on any Windows, Mac, iOS, or Android device, where they can work securely, whether online or offline, using tools that are always up to date.
At times and locations when your staff or volunteers do not have access to Wi-Fi, they can work offline on documents, read and respond to stored emails, and even review and set calendar appointments on their mobile device. As soon as their device reconnects to the internet, emails are sent automatically, calendars are updated, and the latest version of documents are uploaded to OneDrive. Employees are back working in real time and have instant access to the most up-to-date version of documents.
Combined with integrated, end-to-end security, compliance, and identity solutions, Microsoft 365 Business Premium helps ensure that your data and donor information remain protected across all devices.
