Changing Lives with Office 365 - Government and Nonprofit Case Study

Arguably, some of the main drivers for Government agencies and Nonprofit organisations to look into Office 365 is to create efficiency, reduce costs, improve engagement, reduce risk and most important improve the quality of life for the members of their communities.

If you are familiar with Office 365 and its features, it is now time to explore the benefits of the technology in action. Watch the following case studies to learn how Government and Nonprofit organisations can benefit from integrating Office 365 into their existing operations.

The Government of the US Virgin Islands aims to provide efficient services at low cost. To achieve this goal, USVI needed to standardize on a single communication and collaboration solution for employees across 23 agencies. It reduced siloed government functions, automated paper-based business processes, and expedited government services because employees are using the messaging and collaboration technologies in Microsoft Office 365. With a single business productivity solution, USVI employees can provide the same high level of cohesive government services across the territory. USVI can obtain contract approvals and issue business licenses in days instead of months, conduct field inspections faster than the old schedule, and reduce employ downtime by resolving IT issues remotely.

Operation Smile provides free surgeries to correct facial deformities for thousands of children around the world every year. The nonprofit organization wanted to expand the reach and impact of its work to care for even more children, but it needed better technology tools to support that growth. The organization adopted Microsoft Office 365 so that it could remove technological barriers and streamline collaboration across geographies. It plans to use its new cloud-based tools to ease the burden of surgical mission coordination and increase the quantity and quality of its training efforts. It also will integrate the tools with an electronic records system for critical analysis of decades of medical records. By embracing Office 365, Operation Smile can put the pieces in place to significantly increase its number of surgeries each year and make a dramatic difference in the lives of even more children.
