Creating a Team Workspace

FIGURE 2-14 Outlook Web App makes it easy to access and work with your email, schedule, and contacts, and complete tasks all from a single interface.

Tip Office 365 Enterprise users have access to Exchange Online, which functions as a back end to manage communications while Outlook Web App is the front end. Exchange Online synchronizes received and sent messages, completed tasks, and more between all the different email access points you might use—desktop, Web, and phone. In functionality, Exchange Online is based on Active Directory services, which enable Enterprise users to access the global directory with all the contacts available in the organization.

One of the challenges of working with a remote team is that there’s no common space to share files, gather for meetings, or brainstorm about new ideas. Now Office 365 enables you to create a shared site where you can keep in touch with your team members, create workflows to track your projects, add project resources, schedule meetings, and much more.
