You only need an internet connection.  Microsoft handles ensuring services are available, and they have a very good track record.  No more worrying about the Exchange server going offline and not having email for a day.

It includes presence awareness (is the user at their computer, in a meeting or away), instant messaging, video conferencing, screen sharing, file transfer, and more.  Implementing this powerful tool used to be relatively complex and cost-prohibitive, thus only larger organizations could usually justify it.  Now it’s available for another one dollar per user once email has been moved over. If you’re like our staff, you’ll wonder how you operated without it, especially if you have people in multiple offices.

Whether via an Intranet portal (SharePoint) or individual file sharing and synchronization (OneDrive), companies can leverage the same common benefits of having files in the cloud.
