The old solution to these issues with on-premise environments used to be VPNs.

Some clients accept this behaviour as being the new flexible working world, most clients do not and I can see the Security Manager fall off their chair about moving services to the cloud! I always highlight this issue during my first workshop with a new client about to move some services to Office 365.

For a lot of companies, Office 365 solves the problem of not requiring infrastructure, complicated exchange deployments and HA/DR as data is now in the cloud so is not the IT department's problem.

In reality, most companies do not work this way and do not want to work this way. This blog will explore the last benefit – anytime and anywhere access to Office 365.Īs the image suggests, Office 365 means that we can all do our jobs from anywhere (coffee shop, pub, home) on any device we want to use. No costly infrastructure required, no advanced IT knowledge required, 100 GB mailbox, online meetings, document collaboration, 99.9 % uptime, flexibility allowing businesses to provide users with only the services they need and anytime and anywhere access to emails, documents, contacts, and calendars on any device. Office 365 offers some fantastic benefits over traditional on-premise infrastructure.
