Activity 1.04 I Installing and Configuring Office 365
The advantage of using Office 365 is that your organization does not have to purchase
and install server hardware and software for sophisticated business applications and does
not need a full-time IT person or staff just to manage the technology your teams need.
By using Office 365, you are able to have business-class services for your employees
without investing in expensive hardware, software, and personnel. However, at least
one person in an organization must be designated as the Office 365 Administrator-the
person who creates and manages the account, adds new users, sets up the services your
organization wants to use, sets permission levels, and manages the SharePoint team sites.
You can have more than one Administrator if you want to share these tasks with others.
Microsoft provides easy-to-use instructions and videos to get you started, and you
might also have contact with a Microsoft representative. You will probably find, however,
that subscribing to and setting up the account, adding users, and activating services is a
straightforward process that requires little or no assistance.
After purchasing the required number of licenses, you will add each team member
as a user that includes his or her email address. The first time you sign in as the
Administrator, your screen will resemble Figure 1.4.
