CHIME Paves The Way To The Cloud

To move successfully to Office 365, a number of factors come into play. Organizations often solicit third party assistance in making a thorough evaluation of when to move and how best to get there. For example, with this vastly different way of consuming software, end users need online accounts. Sometimes those accounts need to be federated with your Active Directory for single sign-on. The deployment options should be explored to find the best fit, including Microsoft’s new Click-to-Run technology. Costs are also an important factor. With the deals and incentives, upfront pricing may seem too good to pass up. It’s important to also consider long-term costs. Another critical area is security. While users will enjoy access to data anywhere and anytime, organizational data will sit on a device that internal security administrators don’t control. It’s best to examine if any safeguards are built into the endpoint. Organizations also need a comprehensive licensing strategy to go with the Office 365 technology strategy. Office 365 is on-premise and cloud with flexibility to decide which pieces to deploy, where, and when. Along with this flexibility comes the need to understand new licensing agreements with a multi-year course.
