There’s no better tool for getting things done than Microsoft 365. It’s packed with useful features that most people don’t know about.
In this video we’re highlighting three that many people find the most useful.
The Microsoft 365 tool that helps you work less and achieve more
There’s so much more to Microsoft 365 than just Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams.
You’d be surprised by how much useful software is hidden in your subscription.
In this video, we look at a productivity tool that lets you automate tasks across different apps.
Collaborating in real time with Word
We all love Word, and have used it for many, many years.
But did you know the Word of today can do so many more things, compared to the Word of yesterday.
Such as collaborating on a document in real time. Here’s how…
Excel: Making productivity easier with ‘Smart Lookup’
Excel isn’t just for crunching numbers. It’s got a host of very clever features to make your life easier, and work more productive.
Here’s one you might not know about. It’s where Excel can look up the contents of a spreadsheet cell for you.
MileIQ: An automatic mileage tracker
Do your team forget to track their mileage when driving for business?
It can be a real pain. Luckily there’s an app that can track mileage automatically for you.
And you probably already have it, as it’s part of Microsoft 365.
Here are the details.
PowerPoint: Raising the game with audio
Love it or hate it, PowerPoint is the most useful way to influence colleagues during a meeting or video call.
There are lots of little tricks hidden within PowerPoint, to give you greater communication powers. And here’s one you’re going to love.
Microsoft 365: Mobile apps and business without the office
Microsoft 365 literally has all the answers. There are so many different applications contained within your subscription.
And it’s surprising just how many devices you can use your apps on.
OneNote: The power of translation
If your business works with suppliers and clients overseas, you can use OneNote to automatically translate text.

Lists: Making collaboration easier
We all know the power of a good to do list.
And if you use Microsoft 365, you have access to Lists. It’s a powerful tool that integrates with other apps you and your team already use.
Here’s the lowdown on Lists.
Editor: Perfecting content for email, documents, and the web
If you ever feel embarrassed by spelling or grammar mistakes, there’s help available – and it’s from an app you probably already have.

Teams: Immersive and inclusive
You’re using Teams in your business, right? In our view it’s one of the best applications Microsoft has ever released. And in this video, we explore an inclusivity feature that makes it even more useful.
Whiteboard makes collaboration simple
Nothing beats gathering your team together around a whiteboard to brainstorm ideas. But in our new hybrid world, getting everyone in the same place at the same time can be a challenge.
Here’s a clever online whiteboard tool you can use to achieve the same benefit.
MyAnalytics will help you be more efficient
Wouldn’t it be great if you had a dashboard with information about your team’s work patterns? So you could help them collaborate more. And make sure they were disconnecting from work to take proper time off.
This dashboard exists. And it’s within Microsoft 365. Our video has the details.
Access: Database management for casual users and professionals
There’s a tool inside Microsoft 365 which allows you to get a lot more out of data sitting within your business.
It’s not Excel – it’s more powerful than that. But it’s still user friendly. We reveal all in our video.
To Do… making your life easier
Half the challenge of being productive is knowing what you need to do, by when.
There’s a very powerful task manager that works with other Microsoft 365 applications. Here’s the lowdown on it.

If you’re looking for a customised way to collaborate and share information within your business, maybe SharePoint is the answer. Our video shows you some of exciting things you can do with it.
Bookings: Delivering organisation and customer satisfaction
We’re all busy, with packed calendars. Which sometimes makes it difficult to find a good time to talk to each other.
Enter Microsoft Bookings. It’s designed to find gaps that suit you and the person you want to meet with. And make sure everyone gets reminders about the call or meeting.
Plus it’s fully integrated with your Outlook. Here’s how it works.
Microsoft Project makes project management simple
If a lot of your work involves managing projects, there’s lots of software you can use to help you.
In today’s video, we recommend some software that integrates well with the other 365 applications you already use.
