Case Study 3 - Cloud based services

By Lindsay,
A small company wih 3 employees.  Work can be performed 24 hrs per day by whomever is on duty.  Reports and documents need to be accessed and sent to clients as requested.  Using a Micrsoft Server centralised everything, but information could only be accessed in the office.  Rather than drive to the office to complete the reports, time would be saved by having the data available at home, in the office, or on the road, 24 hours per day.

Solution.  Email was changed to hosted exchange.  Now it was available on work computers, home computers, and Iphone and Windows mobile phones. The data was changed from the server to a paid subscription to dropbox (50 Gbytes).  Now the data is available in the office, at home (via notebook or via the web), and also on the smartphones.

Trips to the office after hours have now ceased.
