After you sign up for the Office 365 (Plan P1) Beta, you can explore many exciting areas. Here are a few recommendations to get you started. Visit the Office 365 Community site for more information.
Explore the Office 365 Portal
After you sign in to Office 365, you will see the Office 365 Portal. As an administrator, you have access to administrator-specific areas of the portal to help you manage your user accounts and services.
Set up email
You can manage your company’s email settings, create distribution lists, manage shared resources, and manage your users’ mailboxes.
Create a team site
As the first administrator of your company’s services, you are also a global administrator on the Microsoft SharePoint Online site. You can start building your company’s team site to share documents and collaborate. As you create new user accounts, you must decide which accounts to add to your sites.
Instant messaging (IM), video calls, and online meetings
Microsoft Lync Online provides embedded presence and click-to-communicate capability in Office, enabling users to resolve issues quickly by moving, with context, from IM to audio and video calls and ad-hoc online meetings. Also, users can conduct scheduled online presentations with colleagues and customers that include audio, video, screen sharing, and a virtual whiteboard.
