When most people think of Microsoft 365, they think: “Great, I get Outlook and Word.”
But for businesses across Albury-Wodonga, Microsoft 365 is doing far more than just handling email. Used properly, it can boost collaboration, security, productivity — and even replace clunky third-party tools your team is already paying for.
Whether you’re a sole trader or managing a growing team, here’s how you can unlock the full potential of Microsoft 365 in your business.
🛠️ Most Businesses Are Barely Scratching the Surface
If your Microsoft 365 usage looks like this:
- Outlook for email
- Word and Excel installed
- Maybe some Teams messages
… then you’re leaving a ton of value on the table.
What you might not realise is that your Microsoft 365 Business subscription also gives you access to:
- 📁 SharePoint & OneDrive for centralised file sharing and cloud storage
- 🧠 Microsoft Forms for surveys, feedback, and data capture
- 🔐 Security tools to manage user access and protect against phishing
- 📅 Bookings to let clients schedule appointments directly
- ✅ Planner & To Do for lightweight task management
These tools can replace paid subscriptions to Dropbox, Calendly, SurveyMonkey, and more — saving you money and centralising everything in one system.
🏢 Real-World Use Cases From Albury-Wodonga Businesses
We’ve worked with dozens of local businesses — from tradies to health providers — to help them get more out of their Microsoft 365 plans.
Here are some real examples:
- A Wodonga NDIS provider replaced Dropbox and set up SharePoint so every staff member could access documents from the field.
- A local trades business started using Microsoft Bookings to let customers choose their appointment times online.
- An Allied Health clinic in Albury used Microsoft Forms to automate client intake — replacing clipboards and manual data entry.
- A professional services firm rolled out Teams and Planner to coordinate staff across offices in Albury and Lavington.
Most of these businesses already had Microsoft 365 — they just weren’t using it properly.
