Join The Cloud - Microsoft Internet-Based Hosted Services

Introducing The New Way

In today's competitive global market, businesses need technology that enables flexibility and cost-effectively adds value to their organisation. Microsoft’s Cloud Computing offer includes a range of Internet-based hosted services that provide a way to meet these objectives.

Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) provides your business with the feature-rich productivity capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server, Microsoft Office Communications Server, and Microsoft Office Live Meeting — all hosted online and all up and running quickly and easily without the upfront costs of an on-premises deployment.

Dynamic Hosted Solutions:

Combine the power of rich desktop-based applications with the flexibility of fully- hosted Internet services. Delivers a consistent look and feel from virtually any device, in almost any location. Includes business-class e-mail, instant messaging, and the latest messaging and collaboration features.

The Power of Choice with Software-plus-Services:

Choose to run some applications on-premises, or choose Online Services hosted and managed by Microsoft or Microsoft Partners. Adjust your deployment model dynamically as your business needs shift and grow.

Easy to Deploy, Easy to Manage:

Provide the tools your organisation needs and quickly and easily extend new capabilities to your organisation without straining internal resources. Microsoft Online Services synchronise with your Microsoft Active Directory, so you maintain control and can continue to manage user policies centrally.

How Does It Work:

Microsoft has a global network of geo-redundant data centres that provides around-the-clock access to business-critical collaboration services, and helps keep your data safe.

• Up and running quickly (ie. typically within 1 hour)

• Latest Software (ie. using the best tools for the job)

Who is the Ingram Micro Roadwarrior?

I have spent the past decade of my career supporting, promoting and selling great NZ technology both in New Zealand and further afield. Originally from a technical and IT support background my career development evolved into presales and channel management.

I love to immerse myself in cutting edge technology, understanding it a molecular level then identifying key selling points for prospective customers that deliver true competitive advantage. Microsoft's Online suite represents a sea change in the industry and one that will be welcome to many customers who are seeking to streamline the overhead of application management in their business.

As the resident Microsoft Cloud Warrior for Ingram Micro, I’m excited to be on the forefront of the next generation of business computing. I look forward to meeting and sharing the Microsoft Online story with each of you.
