Why are employees migrating to Office 365?

In addition to email, Office 365 allows you to use the Microsoft Office suite of programs online. Some more benefits of using Office 365:

  • Individual online space with 1TB of storage
  • Free download of Office software suite for installation on personal home computers, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Publisher, Access, and InfoPath are also available for Windows systems
  • Being on the same e-mail system as Riverland Faculty and Staff increases communication, sharing, and collaboration opportunities
  • Eventually, students will be able to utilize a single e-mail account when taking classes at multiple Minnesota State campuses or transferring between campuses
