Note adopted Google Mail in 2010, but quickly discovered Google’s collaboration features didn’t meet the company’s needs. Note then switched to Office 365, and never looked back. Because Office 365 incorporates the familiar business tools Note employees already know and use every day, the company found it could get greater value from Office 365, without the need for additional employee technology training. The company now has a single environment that employees can use to organize and share information between business teams and across multiple facilities and devices.
