As a Marketing Professional for Microsoft, I hear a lot of client discussions regarding Office 365 adaptability. One of the recent discussions was, "Sajin, our Sales Team is ready to go with Dock and Office 365, but our IT and top-level management has concerns regarding security features."
They're concerned about data breach, especially after the Facebook incident. We do have on-premise development too, but recommend going for Office 365 due to its available features like Skype for Business, Planner, Teams, Yammer etc. How do you encourage your team to use SharePoint Online/Office 365? There are couple of valid points that can help convince their executives and IT professionals to adopt Office 365.
I remember the conversation I had with Steve from a prominent chemical company few days ago. He says, "their in-house systems are more secure than Microsoft Cloud."

Gartner recognizes Microsoft as a leader in enterprise integration
I don’t know how many of you trust Gartner. I certainly do, and glad Steve did too! Isn’t that why some of the leading Banks have chosen Office 365 as their enterprise platform for employee collaboration and communication? Now that’s a game changer!
I highly doubt any other platforms offer you with a bunch of features that is value for your money.
