SUMMARY TRANSCRIPT:

“Hardly a day goes by that we aren’t asked this question: Where is my data located?

With UK-bought Office 365 licences, your data resides at Microsoft’s data centre in Dublin and is replicated in Amsterdam – those are the two Northern European data centres for Office 365.”

In a nutshell, it’s a rather vague term coined by the IT industry to describe web-based computing services that are hosted outside of your organisation. So, instead of you running your own server on your business premises, you have a third party IT company host it off-premises, on their servers.

With Office 365, for example, Microsoft owns the servers and manages data storage, computation and software.

You may not know it but many services you use every day are a part of the cloud— web-based email, mobile banking – your online photo storage. And because it’s located in the cloud, you can access it from virtually anywhere with an Internet connection.

Watch this two-minute video to find out how a multi-site landscaping business and others are working more productively with Office 365.

You’ll see how you can:

• Take your business with you
• Enjoy a seamless experience across multiple devices

Working in an office environment – while often essential and highly valuable – can also be a distraction. Remote working, however, has been found to boost productivity by 30 – 40%.
