Outlook

We need to change the way we currently use Outlook to enable us to work more efficiently and collaboratively across the organisation.

The new 365 apps include file storage that will free up Outlook. Storing documents in a more structured way will make our systems more manageable and accessible.

Example – if you get an email which you would normally forward to your team, you can now drop it into your Teams client and share it with all of your colleagues. As Teams is built on SharePoint, this means we only store one copy of the email (including the attachments). That copy can be accessed by anyone who needs to see it.
