The new Office 365

Why should you care about the new Office 365? If the e-mail, document sharing and storage, instant messaging, Microsoft Office and more cloud based solutions doesn’t get you excited, then how about a fancy new interface to make it even easier to get around than it was before.

As Microsoft prepare for the release of the latest cloud upgrades for Office 365 for business tomorrow, people are eagerly awaiting Office 2013 which will roll out alongside upgrades. Office Professional Plus will now be 2013 instead of 2010, and people who already have the subscription will be updated and upgraded if they haven’t already.

New interfaces within the portal will arise as newer ways of getting around and offering its social prowess as people are able to update the social feed when an important document is uploaded. Getting to grips with the newer and more fluid interface will be a smooth learning curve, there are few differences and things that are different are easy enough to learn about. You can now preview documents before opening them in SkyDrive Pro and SharePoint, allowing you view the document in a window when you click on more options, this saves time as opening and closing documents that were labelled badly or incorrectly can be inefficient.

I cannot wait to move our customers to this newer version of Office 365, giving them a neater and more aesthetic experience, still with all the great functionality of previous software.

 

If you have any questions on the new Office 365, please give us a call.

Eitex lightens the load for British Weight Lifting

BRITISH Weight Lifting’s Olympic ambitions have been given a major boost with the news from the British Olympic Association (BOA) that BWL will be allowed to utilise Host Nation Qualification Places to compete at the Olympic Games in London next year! The IPC Powerlifting Squad are also well on track as they start their qualification process for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

With this exciting news in mind BWL needed to take hold of their IT, to get all team members succinct, organised and prepared for London 2012. In doing so BWL chose Eitex as their IT Support partner!

Eitex will be providing Microsoft BPOS which includes Exchange and SharePoint to allow team members around the world to access, share and work together on the same information. A pro-active support package has also been provided to ensure their IT runs smoothly and optimally from this point onwards.

Eitex would like to wish BWL and the athletes involved the very best success on their Olympic and Paralympic venture.
