Every 15 minutes, a
NZ business moves
to Office 365
In New Zealand, a business
is migrated to Office 365
every 15 minutes. Is your
business on Office 365 yet?
The Waikato/BOP’s longest-established
IT company,
HTG, has partnered with Microsoft
NZ to bring you a FREE
seminar on Microsoft 365. This
is on Tuesday 16 October at
3.30pm at the Verandah Café in
Hamilton.
Retire your on premise
servers
Do you have to retire your
servers soon because you are
running old operating systems
software (such as Windows
Server 2008 or any version of
MS Small Business Server)? If
so, this is a good time to evaluate
whether you should ditch
the on-premise server and save
money and hassle.
Microsoft has spent the last
decade preparing its clients for
migrating to its 365 platform.
Microsoft 365 (which includes
Office 365) is Microsoft’s latest
cloud ecosystem product that
allows you to move to the cloud
with enhanced productivity,
security as well as cost savings.
Office 365 comes with 25
modules – do you know
that?
If you are already running
Office 365 come along to find
out how you can benefit fully
from all the 25 modules that
make up Office 365. Modules
such as Power BI that taps into
your data to achieve amazing
insights into your business. Or
Teams that is improving collaboration
among workers all
over the world.
Why attend this seminar?
You should attend if you:
• Are evaluating ditching
on-premise servers for a
cloud solution.
• Still have not moved your
Microsoft Office to Office
365 cloud versions.
• Are running Office 365 but
want to know how to tap
into the productivity of all
its 25 modules.
• Are still using Windows 7,
Windows Server 2008, SBS
2008 or Office 2013.
• Would like employees to
be more mobile and able to
work from anywhere.
• Have concerns about security
and protection of your
and your clients’ data
• Could use video communications
more effectively to
engage remote workers and
clients.
• Want to work smarter, not
harder.
Paul Bowkett, the Cloud
Territory Manager from Microsoft
New Zealand, and Alan
Chew, founder of HTG, will
get answers to all your questions
about Microsoft's vision
of a mobile-first, cloud-first
enterprise where teams collaborate
across distances using
shared documents, video conferencing,
and applications
that tie it all together without
the need for on premise
servers.
