DESCRIPTION
There is much debate around the virtues and pitfalls associated with cloud solutions; one thing is clear, if your organisation uses any Microsoft productivity products such as Office, cloud based or not, you should be aware of Office 365. Office 365 has been available since mid-2011 and is currently in its second major iteration; it is very clear that Microsoft sees it as a key offering and this will have wide ranging implications even for organisations that are determined to remain cloud free. Waterstons specialist consultants will discuss the use of Office 365 and how it relates to Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, Desktops and integration with infrastructure applications. The seminar will cover the advantages, disadvantages, business benefits and potential pitfalls of using Office 365. The team will also explore what the future might look like and how this will have an impact far beyond those companies who have chosen to dip their toe in the 365 cloud…
