Mobile Device Management in Office365

 

There is a virtual explosion of Mobile devices at the Workplace. Almost everyone at work now uses his Mobile device for tasks related to work. While this has led to an increase in productivity , the downside is that the Mobile device has now become the single biggest source of leakage of Corporate Data . This is mainly due to the fact that the Corporate IT has no means to manage the User Mobile. Or if there are some 3rd party tools, they are so expensive and complicated to use that the IT does not have the resources to learn and implement the same.

Enter Office365 !

Exchange Online, which is a part of Office365 , the Cloud based Productivity Platform from Microsoft , has extensive inbuilt features which can assist the Corporate IT in managing the Mobile Devices.

Scheduling a meeting with MS Exchange

 

 

Meetings are a lifeline of any Organization. However, the process of fixing a meeting is extremely tedious. So if a person wishes to initiate a meeting, the process of identifying a time slot where all attendees are available, is extremely time consuming and usually involves making multiple phone calls and lot of emails going back and forth.

Using MS Exchange, a part of Office365, the complete process of scheduling a meeting can be streamlined, thus saving lot of time.

Savings by using Common Address Book for a Company

Using the Meeting Scheduler feature of MS Exchange Online , the organizer is able to save at least 1 hour per meeting considering average meeting size of 5 people. Now if we calculate average of 10 meetings in a month, we are talking of savings of at least 10 hours . If the average cost of Rs. 500/= per hour is taken , it means that direct savings of at least Rs. 5000/= per month . That is quite a decent amount !

Using Common Email Address Book in Office365

 

In my blog dated December 11, 2013, I had discussed about how you can share an Address Book in a Company using a combination of SharePoint and Outlook . Today I will discuss another way in which you can share one Common Address Book within a Company using MS Exchange and MS Outlook. The feature of MS Exchange which allows you to share a common Address Book is called as Public Folder of MS Exchange .

Savings by using Common Address Book for a Company

So if we assume that an average person takes about 5 minutes to fill up an Outlook address contact , then for 300 contacts and 100 people Company, the time savings are:

5 x 300 x 100 = 1,50,000 minutes = 2500 hours

So at average cost to Company per hour per person being about Rs. 200, this translates to a saving of Rs. 5,00,000. This is not a small saving by any measure.

Please do note that you cannot setup Shared Contacts on a Mobile . The only setup a Mobile allows is where you use the default address book . But on a PC or laptop, it works like a dream.

To understand how you can setup Company Address Book, which is called “Shared Contacts”, visit http://www.techgyan.com/Pages/SharedContactsusingMSExchange.aspx
