The roll out of Office 365 was also successfully completed at an unprecedented pace, providing staff with access to the full suite of email, collaboration and communication facilities to successfully work from home within a short period of time. Whilst the roll out of the Office 365 programme had already started prior to the national lockdown, the pace of project was dramatically increased with staff quickly adapting to the change. In addition to this, MiCollab software was rolled out to necessary staff providing them with a simple way to check colleague’s availability, make and receive telephone calls and access the staff directory whenever and wherever they might be.
