Online Services Webcast

planet — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 13:55:50 +0000

This presentation was delivered on Tuesday 1st December and, hopefully, answers the question “Is now the time to have your email hosted outside your organisation?”

Covering the Microsoft Online Services suite we discuss the benefits which can be derived from a move to a hosted service but in terms of direct costs and also through the use of the latest technologies.

This is an enhanced podcast with the presentation slides embedded as graphics.

There is a minor glitch with the recorded audio but we hope that it will not detract from the content!
