Why Office 365?
The speed of business is requiring IT to create, secure, and scale resilient services, prompting enterprises to move away from on-premises data centers to the cloud. Microsoft Office 365 (O365) is an attractive option for organizations that need to innovate at what feels like “escape velocity” speeds.
O365 offers organizations more cost-effective ways to ensure productivity and efficiently operate their business. Top benefits of moving to O365 include:
- Shift from CAPEX to OPEX
- Offloading software patching to the cloud
- Elimination of infrastructure maintenance
- Elimination of multi-year financial commitments
- Best of breed for high availability, security, and compliance
Why Choose a Microsoft CSP for your O365 Deployment?
Microsoft’s CSP (Cloud Solution Provider) program enables highly-trained, expert partners to provide comprehensive support and management of O365 solutions. For many companies, moving to O365 demands a new skill set which requires time and investment to properly migrate to the cloud, as well as time to re-train staff. The CSP model adds value by leveraging a support organization which already possesses deep skills in the O365 suite -- creating a shortened timeline to production and ensuring knowledgeable and responsive support.
Here’s how it works: Instead of entering in a support ticket with Microsoft, clients log issues with their local CSP. The CSP’s managed services team immediately steps in to remedy the problem. Customers benefit from the CSP’s extensive knowledge of O365 and the constantly changing cloud ecosystem as well as:
- The personal touch of local resources
- Deep expertise with the Azure platform
- Improved support for Microsoft issues
- Direct line of communication to Professional Services resources if needed
- Access to Microsoft escalated support via Premier Support Agreement
