Emails and Documents: anywhere, anytime, on any device. Try Microsoft’s Office 365 cloud services.
We’ve all been without our machine and needed that all important email or document, right at that critical moment in time. Frustrating, I know. If only you had access to your emails and files via a Windows Phone or iPad? Office 365 users can using Office Web Apps, plus many other time and cost saving perks. Yes, it’s secure too. Microsoft helps keep your data safe and private.
Now is the time to look at how Office 365 can streamline your business communication, making life easier, saving you time and the big one, saving your business money. The future is to move away from big costly in-house servers and move towards cloud computing. Why, you ask? Previously you would need a capital investment (CapEx) of £5,000-6,000 for a server, which would give a live expectancy of say 6 years. Compare that against cloud computing and its Office 365 – emails and documents are stored via the cloud. Giving you 24/7 access no matter where you are, and from any device. How much you ask? Forget the costly upfront investment, it’s more of an utility cost (OpEx), costing from £5.25 per licence (user), per month. So if staffing levels change, licences can be added or cancelled to suit you. Automatic patches, updates and back-end upgrades ensures that you always give your users access to the latest capabilities.
Don’t be put off by the cloud, the team at Dove Cloud are the experts and will gladly talk through how your business could benefit. Call today and we’ll arrange for a free one to one meeting.
