On-demand webinar: Everything you need to know about Microsoft 365: A three-part series
22 February 2022
14:00 - 15:00When you think of Microsoft tools, you probably think of PowerPoint, Excel and Word. This trio will likely be familiar to many charity professionals, used throughout our working life. However, the Office 365 Suite consists of these amazing tools and even more! Think Teams, SharePoint, Outlook... the list goes on. What’s more, as a charity, you’re eligible to access this plethora of productivity apps at a discounted rate.
There are a few different types of 365 subscriptions offered on the Charity Digital Exchange. We know it can be a little confusing trying to figure out what each subscription offers and which one is best for your organisation. If you’ve already found your perfect match, you might be wondering what you can do with it now and how you can best use the tools available to you.
That’s why we’re bringing you this three-part series in Microsoft 365 subscriptions. The series will consist of three webinars. Charities are welcome to attend all three, or just one. The series has been designed to support your organisation on their full 365 journeys, from license purchase right through to the end. No matter which stage you’re at, there’ll be a webinar to suit you.
