Vljakutsed: Kasutaja/töötaja, IT osakond, juhid/finantsi eest vastutajad
Lisaks PC’le tahavad kasutajad tööd teha erinevate nutiseadmetega
Töötajad liiguvad ringi, ja tihti on vaja tööd teha – olles töö arvutist eemal
IT süsteemide töös hoidmine ja troubleshootimine võtab enamus ajast ja arendusteks ei jää aega
Hinna läbipaistvus on tähtis
Office 365 võiks lahendada siis järgmised 4 küsimust:
Ei oleks enam aheldatud töökoha ja arvuti külge
Koostöö võiks paremini sujuda
Süsteemide haldus võiks olla lihtsam
Finants võiks olla läbipaistvam – ja investeeringutest võiks rohkem välja pigistada
Kui mainitakse Office siis tuleb pähe Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Outlook – ja need on tõesti 1 osa kogu Office 365 teenusest.
- mainin kohe ära, et saab kasutada nii arvutisse installeeritavat Office’t kui ka veebipõhiseid rakendusi. IE’s, Firefoxis, Chromes
Exchange, koos e-mailide, ühiste kalendrite, ressursside (nõukar jne)
OneDrive ja Sharepoint - Dokumentide hoidla – nii ettevõtte ühisdokumendid kui kasutaja põhised dokumendid
Skype for Business - Online koosolekud, videokonverentsid, suhtlus.
Yammer – Suhtlusportaal ettevõtte sisene.
Eelnimetatud töötavad kõik koos ja ühes keskkonnas ja saab suhelda ka väliste partneritega
We talked about how your people need to work on many different devices and the importance of having the best experience and the best tools when working on these different devices. Let’s explore how Office 365 can help you with this…
Office kuni 5 erinevas seadmes, PC, Mac, Iphone, Android
Failid ühes kohas, olenemata asukohast ja olenemata seadmest.
Oma domeen – sama kasutajanimi ja parool
50 GB mailbox
Spämitõrje
Jagatud kalendrid ja ressursid (koosolekuruumid, autod jne)
Kõike seda saab teha ka brauserist – e-mailid, kalendrid, Skype for Business
Jaga ja redigeeri oma töö dokumente partneritega või töökaaslastega.
Ei pea olema oma arvutitaga.
Skype for Business
Ühised koosolekud, igast asukohast iga seadmega.
Kuidas me süsteemi haldame
Veebipõhine adminnliides
Antiviirus ja spämmitõrje kontrolli all
Asjad mis rakenduvad automaatselt kui tehakse kättesaadavaks
Asjad mis rakenduvad automaatselt kui tehakse kättesaadavaks
Uus asi ja täna veel hübriid, alus on Skype aga osad kliendid veel Lyncid
On seotud sinu töö meilikontoga ja aadressiga
SFB on nagu kummitus kogu Office 365 taga ja näeb su kohalolekut
The client is fully compatible with Lync 2013 and 2010
