Overland Solutions Leaves Google Apps and Chooses Microsoft Online Services
Overland Solutions, Inc. was interested in using cloud computing to help it streamline IT management; develop a more pragmatic disaster-recovery strategy; and provide its highly mobile and widely distributed field staff of auditors, inspectors, and sales representatives with the collaboration and messaging tools they needed. After evaluating the Google Apps suite of online productivity tools, the company instead adopted the Microsoft Business Productivity Online Standard Suite, a collection of email, instant messaging, web-conferencing, and collaboration solutions delivered as managed services through Microsoft Online Services. By delivering collaboration tools to its employees online, Overland Solutions can help keep its field staff better connected, deliver advanced yet familiar tools to more employees, reduce its IT management burden, and enhance the return on its IT investment.
