Re: Office 365 Opinions

Not sure how to answer the question.

I have installed Office 365 at a number of clients. After the transition,
email for the client domain runs through the Office 365 servers. Each user
will connect to the O365 system using their email address as the username.

The migration process:
** setup the account on O365
** verify the domain on O365 - this means adding a TXT record to DNS for
the domain to
** Setup users, groups, etc.
** Setup SharePoint Online and Lync Online if the company so chooses.
** Confirm that all PCs have the minimum software and patches.
** Migrate the mailboxes. O365 has a tool, but there are some 3rd party
tools which do it better and easier.
** D-DAY - change the MX records and point mail to O365. Run the O365
sign-on wizard on each PC (unless the 3rd party tool does it).

Hope this helps.

I'm a huge fan of Office 365. It is stable and reliable.

O365 is not just the Office apps. O365 is:
** hosted email on Exchange
** hosted SharePoint - intranet and public website
** hosted Lync communications (think IM and GoToMeeting)
** hosted Yammer (think Facebook for corporation).
** there is an option that includes a subscription to use the Office
software suite.

You can pick and choose which of these are actually used for your
organization. If you just want low cost Office suite licenses, you are
probably better off going to TechSoup.

TechSoup is a company that solicits and administers donations from tech
companies to non-profits. They charge a small processing fee (typically <
10% of the value). There is a lot of software and even equipment available
through them.

Anyone have an experience with Microsoft Office 365, pro or con?

I'm considering it for a new Win 8.1 church laptop which is mainly
used for PowerPoint presentations and Internet access, Word occasionally.

Since we are a registered charity, it looks like Microsoft will
provide Office 365 free:
