The following are top 10 reasons you should consider using SharePoint Server with Office 365 Enterprise features:

1. Have Office when you need it

When you’re away from your PC, stream a full-featured version of Office on any Internet-connected PC (Windows 7 or later required) with Office on Demand.

3. Protect sensitive data

Keep your organization safe with data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities that prevent users from mistakenly sending sensitive information to unauthorized people. The DLP features in Exchange identify, monitor, and protect sensitive data through deep content analysis and provide built-in and extensible DLP policies that are based on regulatory standards such as PII, HIPAA, and PCI.

4. Stay compliant with archiving

The ability to retain and discover data across your organization is essential to ensuring internal and regulatory compliance.

The data always remains in place so you don’t need to manage a separate data store.
