“This book outlines a host of business efficiency opportunities that are to be realized with cloud computing and demonstrates how to make this happen.”—the authors of “Office 365”
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 04, 2014
The opportunity for organizations and businesses to reduce IT costs and improve productivity with increased access, simpler administration, and improved services has led many to adopt cloud-based services. As the cloud computing era continues apace, the number of small- and medium-sized businesses adopting Microsoft’s Office 365 cloud storage platform, first released in 2011, continues to grow. The subscription-based service provides users with tools that they know: Microsoft Office and web applications, including hosted Exchange, SharePoint content management, Lync voice over Internet (VoIP) communications software, and other hosted services. "Office 365: Migrating and Managing Your Business in the Cloud"—newly published by Apress in partnership with Intel—provides IT professionals and business owners the business and technical insight necessary for successful deployment of Office 365.
The book takes a practical look at cloud migration and the use of different technologies to support that migration. Author Matt Katzer—Founder of cloud solution consultancy KAMIND—utilizes numerous examples of cloud migration with technical migration details drawn from the experiences of more than 8,200 users. Katzer and co-author Don Crawford detail how businesses that embrace the advantages of the cloud will receive huge rewards in productivity and lower total cost of ownership compared to those businesses that choose to ignore it. The challenge for IT professionals charged with implementing Microsoft Office 365 is to leverage these advantages with minimal disruption to their organization. With practical advice and instruction, readers will find an overview of Office 365’s operation and usage for any size enterprise, methods of planning and migration, how to use SharePoint to improve business processes, troubleshooting installations, using compliance and data loss prevention tools, and Office 365-site management best practices.
“Our customers who use Office 365 have significantly reduced their IT services costs and their concerns in the areas of data security, compliance, and discovery. This book outlines a host of business efficiency opportunities that are to be realized with cloud computing and demonstrates how to make this happen,” the authors explain. Multiple stakeholders will benefit from this insightful and practical look at making such a large organizational change.
