- Organizations are faced with the decision to move Microsoft Exchange, Office, and SharePoint deployments to the cloud through the implementation of Office 365.
- Microsoft’s push for Office 365 is complicating on-premise and hybrid deployment models of Exchange and SharePoint.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Matching each user’s needs to the correct licensing scheme is difficult and time consuming. Microsoft’s marketing materials are unclear about which services are included in each version of Office 365.
- Office 365 is its own ecosystem with improved integration between services. Hybrid deployments require a significant increase in work for compatibility and ease of use for end users.
Impact and Result
- Assess the needs of users in workgroups and departments.
- Deploy the needed Office modules to each employee without overspending.
- Create a deployment strategy to roll out Office 365.
- Create a governance strategy to manage the deployment and continued use of Office 365.
