Why is Brunswick Community College transitioning to Office 365?

Collaboration

By connecting Brunswick CC with one system, Office 365, students, faculty, and staff members will be able to seamlessly explore new ideas, share projects, store files, and join conversations. Office 365 includes fifteen plus applications, such as Yammer, Teams, and Video, which provides more opportunities for communication through online chats or video conferencing. With many companies outside of Brunswick Community College preferring Office 365 for their own email, writing, and design needs, the College’s move to Office 365 will allow all members to expand communication with businesses, researchers, and others outside of Brunswick CC.

Productivity

The wide range of Office 365 tools make it easy to boost productivity in the classroom and workplace. With access to the same professional applications used outside of Brunswick CC, students can prepare for the future by developing the digital fluency skills needed for successful careers. With a full suite of integrated tools available on any device, Office 365 helps you to stay organized while saving time.

Security

Moving the College to Microsoft Outlook, a single email and calendaring system, will increase the security of communications across Brunswick CC. Outlook’s Advanced Threat Protection allows for easy monitoring and reduction of potential threats, meaning your personal information, files, and research remains safe and secure.
