Office 365 for Hospital Group John Munroe

We recently implemented Office 365 and IT Support services for John Munroe Hospital and were very thankful to receive the following testimonial:

I have worked as IT and Communications Coordinator for John Munroe Hospital for four years now. The network was littered with various operating systems and legacy equipment, and the Board decided to take action regarding this situation. I was asked to investigate options for replacing the legacy equipment and also upgrading the system in general.

My inquiries into Microsoft Office 365 and associated HP Equipment led me to Eitex, and I was put in contact with Dean Spencer.

Dean was friendly and approachable, and quickly arranged a meeting to discuss the network requirements and associated equipment required.

We met and discussed a plan moving forward that included a hybrid deployment of Office 365 for our company and the lease of the new PC’s, Laptops and Servers required. Along with Chris Thompson, we started to plan the deployment of the solution.

Chris was there every step of the way during and after the deployment, and Dean was always on hand to answer any questions relating to the finance of the solution and any further solutions available. I enjoy working with Eitex, as being Microsoft Partners they are very knowledgeable regarding the solutions on offer from Microsoft, and their deployment. If they are unsure, they are confident enough to tell you they are unsure, and can quickly put you in touch with someone who does.

The IT Support team are always available, and have responded to any queries or issues I have raised at any time in a timely and concise manner, addressing and resolving the issue to the best of their ability.

I would highly recommend Eitex for any company who wish to deploy any form of Microsoft solution, as they listen to your requirements and act upon them with your interests at the heart of what they offer. They are friendly, approachable and have a no-nonsense approach to IT Support. I look forward to continuing to work with them and a prosperous future together.

How to Set Partner of Record in Office 365


So why would you want to set a Partner Record in Office 365?

- Setting a Partner Record will allow your Office 365 Cloud Accelerate or Partner to administer your Office 365 account on your behalf. The reason you may want this to happen it that your Cloud Partner can liaise with Microsoft, and make technical administrative changes to your account.

- Setting a Partner Record will stop sales and marketing calls from Microsoft, instead this process will be handled by your Cloud Partner.

If you need help administering your Office 365 account please just get in touch.

The Future is Bright with The Cloud

SMB’s no longer need to spend large sums of money to implement the same standard of technology as larger corporations.

Cloud services offer huge benefits over traditional on-premise server based IT solutions including:

• Reduced costs – less hardware, software, licenses and support overheads.
• Improved Accessibility – access your email, documents and data such as quotes, invoices and manuals from anywhere with an internet connection, at any time .
• Increased Productivity – providing staff with the ability to work from anywhere means that winter weather, transport problems and strikes don’t have to interrupt your business!

In addition, Microsoft Office365 comes with Lync technology which provides the ability to hold secure virtual meetings whilst sharing and collaborating on documents and project materials with staff, suppliers and clients.

Eitex are now Microsoft Cloud Accelerate Partners which means we are helping businesses of all sizes take advantage of the benefits offered by online “Cloud” services such as Microsoft Office365.

This year there are rumours flying around that we could be looking at a worse winter than last year! A ‘mini ice age’ apparently. Unfortunately one of the things that you probably can expect is snow. And with snow comes the usual staff phone call ‘I’m sorry but I’m snowed in. I can’t make it in today.’
