There has been a lot of hype about “the cloud” and what it can offer business. Like so many misunderstood concepts, “cloud” has become a buzz word used by people who really don’t have a clue. You know the people I’m referring to. They are very important as they synergistically align their business, creating flat organisational structures, delivering milestones, whilst leveraging and syndicating a paradigm shift!
The Cloud has created an awful lot of excitement for something which, in various forms, has been happening for years, with Gmail being one of the oldest and most recognised “cloud” services.
Being that IT Partners is all about business and creating value, we too have been doing “cloud”-like services for a number of years. Our clients want results, not buzz words, and most of all they want value which is why we are now partnering with Microsoft Online Services.
So in one quick sentence, what does Microsoft Online Services do? “We provide business email and collaboration tools, with storage, backup, and spam protection for a fixed fee per month per user.”
Microsoft Online Services does all the things I consider important. It delivers value and scale, allows greater flexibility, and has the ability to really help our clients with their growth ambitions.
