INTRODUCTIONIn your organization has anyone eversuggested that you only use a percentage ofthe functionality or a percentage of what’spossible with Microsoft Office 365? How aboutjust one technology like Outlook? Do you think your users are utilizing most of the functionality thatexists in Outlook today? What about SharePoint? Do your users leverage more than 50% of what’savailable in SharePoint? Are they using it at all?It is okay if the answer is “no, we don’t use all that Office 365 can provide.”, “No, not all of our users areactively using Office 365 yet.”, or “No, not only do I not know all of the things you can do with Outlook orSharePoint but our users aren’t aware of what they could do.”What’s not okay is to do nothing about it. To not have a plan for helping your users adopt, understandand leverage the full suite of Office 365 available to them. You should do something about it. That’s whywhite papers like this exist. To help you and your organization improve.Not all of the features and functions in Office 365 are meant for daily and frequent use, but we bet youcan think of some that would make a world of difference if your whole organization adopted their use.How much more value could your organization realize if users universally used 20% more of the robustdocument management features SharePoint provides?Getting more people to use technology is important. Often getting people to use more of thetechnology is just as important, if not more important, then getting them to use it. Successful adoptionisn’t measured in infrequent and basic use of technology, it’s measured in impact and maximizing thebenefits the technology provides on an ongoing lAdoption**Successful adoption is about more than just usage.In the experience of this whitepaper’s authors, this is a common goal for organizations. A greater needfor staff to utilize technology commonly comes up when organizations evaluate their technologyYOU WILL LOVE THE WAY WE WORK.TOGETHER.

When To Use What In Office 365Page 5 of 75investments. For each organization and individual the evaluation is different depending on thetechnologies they are familiar with.However, one thing everyone can agree on: If we leveraged our technology investments further, both atthe individual and organizational level, we would realize far more value from our existing technologyinvestments. With Office 365 the additional value that can be realized is enormous.A great question, which should often be asked, is “How do we use Office 365 better?” Unfortunately,this doesn’t happen organically. When your users can't decide what technology or feature to use theyuse what they know, or what’s easy; even if better options exist. It’s up to Office 365 leaders to helpusers be aware of better ways of working. These leaders can help them make better decisions, moreoften, as they ask the question: “How do I use Office 365 better?”This whitepaper has been written to help organizations and individuals accelerate their usage ofMicrosoft technologies like Office, Outlook, Exchange, Lync, Skype for Business, SharePoint, andYammer. While some Office 365 capabilities are changing, we also provided guidance on innovativeemerging capabilities, which are unique to Office 365 today, such as Office Delve and Office 365Groups. Not only are we looking to help you accelerate adoption, but we want to provide guidance thatcan help users make the best choice when it comes to the technology and features they should beusing.In this whitepaper, you will find guidance, insights, and recommendations that are based on experienceworking with hundreds of customers in a wide variety of industries and organization sizes. While it maynot answer every question, we hope that it helps you answer some of the most important ones, andequips you better to motivate and drive better usage of Office 365 in your organization.1.1.

When users adopt Office 365, they are better able to work anywhere and on any device.When users adopt Office 365, they can better collaborate and share in a responsible way with partners,customers or colleagues. The great thing is that as users adopt Office 365, the organization alsobenefits. The IT department gets the benefit of simplified compliance with archiving, in-place legalholds, information rights management to keep documents secure, and a robust enterprise-gradeplatform that provides advanced IT controls.So where’s the catch? Why does a whitepaper like this exist? To realize (or maximize) these enormousbenefits employees must successfully adopt Office 365.What decades of enterprise technology deployments have taught us is that for a user to successfullyadopt a technology like Office 365, they need to not only understand it, the value it provides, and howto best use it; but they also need to change the way they work. Due to improvements in technology,some tasks, that have historically been done a certain way, are now inefficient. Especially whencompared with how some tasks can be done far more effectively by working together. Productivity canbe improved greatly by leveraging one another’s experience and by working more collaboratively.Change isn’t easy. With the right planning and activities we know that we can accelerate and guidechange. With the right effort, we can increase adoption of Office 365 as well as help foster the newbehaviors that technology enables. In this whitepaper, we will explore why change is challenging andprovide prescriptive advice and guidance on how to maximize not only your employee’s adoption ofOffice 365 but also how to best leverage the capabilities of the platform. NOTE : We are writing another whitepaper called Office 365 Adoption: The Definitive Guide thatdelves deeper into suggested campaigns, approaches, methodologies and real-worldadoption activities that your organization could perform to improve or ensure moremeaningful adoption of Office 365. In the interim, we highly recommend visitinghttp://success.Office.com and developing an appropriate Office 365 adoption plan andstrategy using the resources on that site, and you can find considerable guidance on thistopic in the chapters of this free book published by WebTrends:http://improveit.how/book about Office 365 and SharePoint adoption.YOU WILL LOVE THE WAY WE WORK.TOGETHER.

When To Use What In Office 365Page 8 of 752.1. Challenges With Enterprise Technology AdoptionWhile many organizations understand that Technology Adoption is a critical part of an organization’scontinued success, there are challenges that exist within organizations that can make it much harder forsome organizations versus others. Here are five high-level reasons some organizations adopt newtechnologies more slowly.1.2.3.4.5.Slower Corporate Readiness & Rate For ChangeCompeting Technology InvestmentsNew Technology Not A Core Competency Of ITCulture Not Aligned With Usage Patterns & Usage ModelsTechnology Not Mature Or Relevant EnoughConsider your organization. Is there anything you can do to improve on those five common reasons?Each of them can be resolved or improved. Are improvements to these five challenges part of yourenterprise technology strategy? As an example if a new technology is not a core competency of IT haveyou considered outsourcing the management of the technology? Many partners today provideManaged Services for Office 365 and are experts in the technology. Consider working with externalexperts if that is one of the things slowing down Office 365 adoption today.2.1.1. Accelerating The Change CurveThere is always SOME loss of productivity when implementing new productivity systems that providenew ways for people to work.Some negative consequence is almost always a result of change. It alsomakes sense when you think about it at an individual user level, at a group level or even at anorganizational level.When you introduce new systems, you need time to recap the original level of productivity you hadbefore you introduced the change. Then there is a continued productivity gain until the technology’spotential has been exhaustedor the organization introducesnew change. There is plenty ofresearch on this subject; it’soften called the change curve.The goal is to accelerate thechange, get to the positiveimpact and outcome
