On Monday 15th May 2017,  Microsoft O365 will be rolled out to all those  Council employees with an ….aberdeenshire.gov.uk email address.

O365 brings to the workplace many advantages with an online 24/7 access to the latest Office Productivity tools including  Word and Excel.  You can access files anywhere via your online O365 OneDrive and you can share files, work collaboratively in real time on documents with colleagues, on any devices.

In ECS we have had access to O365 for many years via GLOW and many teachers and students have been using the features in O365 , such as Office documents, OneDrive, OneNote , Mail, Sway, Delve and many more .

if you are using a Corporate (not curricular ) computer then we recommend that for Corporate O365 your access is via Microsoft Internet Explorer , and for any GLOW work you use the Chrome browser, by keeping access to the 2 different O365 accounts on separate browsers you will avoid any ‘sign in’ conflicts.

Please remember to continue to use GLOW for any educational purposes and Corporate O365 for business purposes.

Myself and Susan are the O365 champions for this rollout of O365 to Corporate users, so if you have any questions please drop us an email.
