There is no doubt that Microsoft Office is the office suite of choice for millions of users and chances are you are one of them. Microsoft is embracing cloud computing by including the ability to push documents from the stand alone versions to the web-based versions. With either Microsoft Office 2010 or the upcoming Office 365, your people can securely reach the information they need – email, documents, contacts, calendars – in the office or on the go. A virtual office, virtually anywhere!
But, Office 365 will not allow you to access your additional business critical applications in the same manner. You can accomplish this by utilizing Windows Server 2008 R2 and using a hosting company to host all of the applications within one web accessible portal. It is designed to work with the software, phones, browsers, and devices you already have in place. This also eliminates the need for your staff to learn different tools and new software. It’s the same Outlook and Office you are using, but powered by and working within the cloud.
Microsoft has been a trusted brand for over 20 years and they now give large corporations, small businesses, and individuals the power and choice to respond to evolving business needs. You just need a trusted advisor to show you the right way to deploy your remote office. In today’s market, it’s vital to make the most of your assets and eliminate costly redundancies. Cloud services expand what your company does and who you do it with, all while removing technical and physical boundaries.
