Microsoft held a Healthcare & Life Sciences Virtual Conference last January and have ensured that Teams has the HIPAA compliance and features healthcare groups need to make that platform their default communication tool.

Initially slower to adopt, the healthcare industry has seen an uptick of recent usage, partly due to Microsoft creating an in-house team specifically tasked with serving their needs. Second only to financial services, the manufacturing industry has migrated to using Office 365 and especially the OneDrive app for cloud storage at a rate of over 26% of its users. Microsoft's focus on making its cloud services meet FISC and GDPR data protection requirements also make Office 365 a natural choice for an industry that regularly deals in the transaction of sensitive data. This makes sense, since traditionally, financial firms have been quick to adopt new technology and are also heavy users of Office apps like Excel. In addition to the special Office 365 licenses extended to education and government organizations, there are many industries finding Office 365 to be the best productivity and cloud solution available.Īt the moment, the financial services industry has the highest rate of usage.

One of the keys to Microsoft's success has been the steadily rising adoption of its Office 365 subscription service - including the widely used Office 365.
