Cloud office packages provide common productivity tools in a web-based environment. These tools include email, word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software. Customers will always have the most current versions of software available to them, with all security updates supplied.
In addition, because the servers are hosted by a third party all backups, maintenance and performance monitoring and uptime are provided by the hosting company. This removes the requirement for you to use your internal resources to perform these tasks. You are also spared the requirements of upgrading server performance or storage as your organization grows.
Alternative Network Solutions has partnered with both Microsoft and Google to provide our customers with the latest in Hosted Office solutions. With our expertise, Alternative Network Solutions will migrate your company’s valuable information and emails to these new services and provide the training necessary for a seamless transition.
Using either Microsoft Office 365 or Google Apps you will be able to use your company’s domain name for sending and receiving emails.
