Cloud Solutions

Moving to the cloud is on lots of our clients' minds these days. Confluence starts by understanding the existing environment and business needs - the two primary inputs to whether a cloud migration makes sense for any given situation. Our nonprofit clients beneift from special Microsoft and Google pricing. We can help explain the pros and cons of these two alternatives, and whether you would benefit from moving just your email or your files to cloud-based solutions. Microsot's new Office 365 combines email, file sharing and intranet (SharePoint) solutions with Lync for presence detection, instant messaging and online meetings. Google Apps provides similar capabilities. We include training with migrations to ensure our clients understand and can use the new features effectively.

Sometimes partial solutions are appropriate. For example, Microsoft Office 2010 comes with free licenses to Office Live, providing for synchronized cloud-based file storage that allows for simultaneous, web-based editing like Google Docs. Give us a call to discuss if and how a cloud migration makes sense for your organizatoin.
