This is because, very often, users simply don’t realise that there is more to the platform than Outlook and the Office productivity suite.Īnd this is where add-ins come in.
Office 365 is a brilliant solution but a lot of the time we don’t make full use of its capabilities. And the Centralized Deployment service in Office 365 makes it much easier for administrators to deploy Office add-ins via the Office 365 admin centre or by using PowerShell scripts, for individual users, teams of users, or entire organisations. Office add-ins can do anything from helping a user report their expenses to booking a holiday. Office add-ins allow users of the platform to customise and personalise their experience, accessing their data and content in a way that’s specific to how they work. Previously, deploying add-ins for multiple users (depending on the size of your organisation) across a business was a tedious and time-consuming task.
This is great news for both admins and users alike. The service, which was released in preview late last year, allows admins the ability to deploy Office add-ins right across their Office 365 environments. Microsoft recently announced the general release of the Office 365 Centralized Deployment Service.
