Flexibility with Microsoft 365
Powerful and familiar Microsoft software hosted in the cloud offers greater flexibility on how and where you work as a business. Enable your team to work from multiple devices across almost any location with protected access to all the data you need.
The business standard for protected SaaS solutions
Venom IT can support businesses with a vast range of the most popular SaaS platforms, including Microsoft 365, ownCloud and Skype for Business.
Microsoft 365 is today’s standard for business operations, providing the same popular suite of office software services, now hosted on the cloud. You’ll also notice an ‘evolution’ of the standard desktop version of apps across the Microsoft 365 bundle, as well as a much more dynamic experience of communication between them.
Automatic App Updates
Applications across the Microsoft suite (Outlook, Word, Powerpoint etc.) will automatically keep themselves up to date, without any downtime during the time of each update. And you won’t have to worry about any licensing issues.
MS365 is a SaaS platform that offers the ability to collaborate on documents dynamically and securely,on the cloud rather than a static and potentially more limited machine. The nature of a cloud hosted service, adds a huge layer of protection with data stored in one of Venom IT’s military-grade data centres.
The difference between Office 365 vs Microsoft 365
With both terms coming under the Microsoft / Office umbrella (with the former including the latter originally) it was easy to confuse what exactly Office 365 was.
One difference used to be that Office 365 was the cloud based suite of productivity apps which everyone uses, such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Microsoft 365 was all of that, plus several other services such as Windows 10 Enterprise. Now, the whole ecosystem of software is officially recognised under the Microsoft 365 label.
If you’re hearing Office 365 specifically, it’s most likely this is referring to the trust suite of traditional Microsoft programs we’ve mentioned above.

Get in touchSECURITY
Add extra security to your Microsoft set up with Venom Support
Whilst Microsoft 365 provides you with security for the applications it provides, you are still responsible for patching, maintaining and updating your other applications. This also includes the on premise hardware you will require to use the popular suite of products.
Office 365 Protection
Venom hosting desktop solution includes full IT support across the UK, including patching maintenance and break fix support. To top things off, we optimise for extra security through enterprise-level Antivirus and remote monitoring software, protecting all the key components on your devices.
Get in touchACCESSIBILITY
True 365 accessibility through any connected devices
Using a Hosted SaaS solution from Venom IT gives you access to both the office suite of software applications and email platforms, all those key applications you use for the day to day running of your business. True accessibility on any device that has access to the internet.
Get in touchBACKUP
Extensive backup services that rise above Microsoft’s support for the 365 suite.
What people may not realise about Microsoft 365 is that it doesn’t provide any form of backup for the solution as part of the monthly costs. This support is an additional and costly service you will need to negotiate and purchase from your current IT provider. But with Venom IT’s range of hosted solutions, our backup services are included.
Get in touchHow Venom IT can get your business set up with Microsoft 365
Setting a business up with the 365 infrastructure is quite straightforward, all you’ll need is a MSP such as ourselves to get you the best deal on the product. Buying directly from Microsoft is possible but is not advised, as with Venom IT, you’ll get everything a direct purchase includes, plus the security and support. Your files and documents will be hosted in our military-grade data centres behind some of the strongest cyber security you can currently get. Finally, our business partnership and history with Microsoft means we can pass product savings on to our customers.
Help & Support with Office 365
When you buy Microsoft 365 from an managed service provider (MSP) such as Venom IT, you get help and support included in the subscription. This would normally be something a business would either need to manage internally with a specialist team, or outsource in addition to the existing Microsoft subscription. Again, this additional support is included in the subscription and works out the same price as buying directly with Microsoft without the help and support!
Frequently Asked Questions
Software-as-a-service is an all-in-one, hands-free solution for the company that wishes to streamline its IT operations and save costs. It also means no long contracts or spending a fortune on one-off purchases of software that eventually becomes redundant and needs to be replaced.
Full SaaS Access
We manage and host SaaS, and the apps and programs that you rent are accessible over the internet.
Another advantage of SaaS is its initial low cost (in contrast to buying all the kit right off the bat). It is also future proof, seeing as how we are constantly upgrading our hardware and offer free Microsoft upgrades on most of our services.
SaaS is also highly scalable – which means you can easily add or remove users. In addition, we don’t lock you in with punitive contracts. You only pay for what you use. We don’t charge to provision new users nor to decommission defunct users.
