A lot has been written and spoken about Office 365 since its initial release in late June of 2011. Office 365 has been a buzzword since then across most major enterprises and a very good one at that for Microsoft, helping the software giant make leaps and bounds of growth. Much of Office 365’s success and applicability has been focused on why an organization should or should not migrate from older on-premises versions of Office to 365. Features like SharePoint, OneDrive and Skype for Business, and your entire office online make it an especially appealing offering and should definitely be part of an organization’s consideration when deciding whether or not to make the switch. However cool the features might sound, an organization’s successful adoption does not depend on the coolness factor of the cloud based solution that Office 365 is. Rather, an organization should consider how these features translate to better productivity and more predictable (and sometimes lower) costs. With that in mind, let’s examine the top reasons an organization should migrate to Office 365 now. With the year coming to a close, Office 365 has proven that it has what it takes to be the best in the market for having all your productivity tools in one place. If you are still wondering if you need to make the move to the cloud from your on premise exchange servers, then you should read on: 1. NO MORE WORRY ABOUT SERVERS AND INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE Oh yes! Being in the cloud has it’s perks like we all know. With the Office 365 running on the cloud, an enterprise doesn’t have to think ever about maintaining and running the exchange servers particularly meaning that you are free of all the hassle. Plus you see a bug/ issue ever in the app, Microsoft will be responsible to smash it out of the work. 2. OFFICE 365 GROWS YOUR BUSINESS With Microsoft offering flexible, pay-as-you go options and on demand additional services like data storage and servers, it is much easier to invest in the technology without having to bother too much about an initial investment of a large sum. Whenever your need arises, upgrade to a plan that suits the best and your business is all set. 3. ENTERPRISE GRADE SOCIAL NETWORKS FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION AND TEAM COHESION If you’ve not already heard of it, then Microsoft bought Enterprise Social Network (ESN) named Yammer for $1.2 Billion back in 2012. Why such a huge sum is a question we may all ask? Because ESNs are likely to play an increasingly important role in how we work. Facilitating interactions, make talent searching easier, looking up documents and files and private chats for one to one or mutli people communication and cut out lengthy email chains with the ability to ‘like’ posts, comment on your group’s activity and share and collaborate on files incredibly easily is the key driver of the success of Yammer across enterprises looking for a tightly knit collaboration solutions with their existing tools or the tools they are already familiar with. 4. WORKING FROM ANYWHERE AND FROM ANY DEVICE Being in the cloud makes Office 365 a very compelling solution for your productive deployment. With Microsoft’s mobile solutions and apps on all major mobile platform devices, your documents and work is a just a few clicks away. 5. SIMPLIFIED MIGRATION Migration to Office 365 can straightforward experience depending on your needs and business cases. But in most cases transitioning from your on premises exchange servers, lotus notes or any other mailbox can be a performed like a charm. Today, various tools in the market are available such as Sharegate, Skykick,Transvault, Quest from Dell, BitTitan and others that make this transition a piece of cake. 6. ALL YOUR APPS IN ONE PLACE – UNIFIED SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PRODUCTIVITY NEEDS With office 365 coming into play, all your productivity apps are in one single location that work closely together ensuring tight integration amongst them. Along with your most commonly used tools like Word and Excel, tightly integrated into the Office 365 are solutions such as OneNote, OneDrive, SharePoint, Delve, Yammer, Sway, PowerBI, Planner and Dynamics 365. 7. WORK ONLINE You are always connected to your work with the power of Office 365. Office 365 is focused to make your workflow and process completely streamlined and more collaborative than ever. With all your documents and data being online, you or any of your colleagues can access the data quickly, make edits, improvements and make comments in real time from any device without downloading the document. 8. COLLABORATION The real power of Office 365 comes with not just providing productivity solutions on the cloud. Rather, what makes Office 365 a juggernaut is the ability to allow anyone with the right permissions to collaborate with their teams in real-time with the same level of ease you find on an on premise deployment. With the Rights Management Services in place, Office 365 enables you to restrict access to documents and email to specific people and to prevent anyone else from viewing or editing them, even if they are sent outside the organization. Connect with other Skype and Skype for Business users via instant message, voice calls, and video calls, and let people know your availability with your online status. Broadcast Skype for Business meetings on the Internet to up to 10,000 people who can attend in a browser on nearly any device. Optionally include Bing Pulse for real-time polling and sentiment tracking, and Yammer, to enable dialogue during the broadcast. Host online meetings with audio, HD video, and web conferencing over the Internet. Join meetings with a single touch or click from the smartphone, tablet, or PC of your choice. 9. WORK SMARTER WITH DELVE AND BE MORE PRODUCTIVE. Many people who are on Office 365 are not even familiar with Delve let alone it’s features. Running on smart machine learning algorithms, Delve is a tool that functions like a personal secretary – it gets to know what you’re working on, who you follow on Yammer, when you have meetings and what your priorities are. It then makes suggestions to help users work smarter and more efficiently. 10. POWERAPPS Do you have a dataset you want to use to make smarter informed decisions right on your mobile devices? Are you looking to build your new mobile app in a matter of minutes? PowerApps is the one stop solution to build all your mobile apps without even requiring to write a single line of code. Whether you are creating an app from sharepoint or an app from data service, PowerApps caters to your needs to manage your data and apps from a solution created in a matter of minutes. 11. WORK MANAGEMENT – RIGHT TOOL TO GET YOUR PLANNING DONE THE RIGHT WAY. Another smart tool that most of the Office 365 users are not aware of is the planner. A couple of years ago, when the Office 365 was first released, there was a task manger, that catered to the low level of capacity to individuals and on the higher side, there was a Project Portfolio Management tool that provided high level of capability to larger team settings to manage the project essentials, resources and timesheets. However, there was a clear gap between the two and that is where the Planner fits right now. Planner’s work management ability gives you the ability to manage user events, manage training and interact with your ad hoc team without the extra frills of using Project online. With the added ability of integrating tightly with SharePoint, OneNote and OneDrive, Planner drives the productivity of your organization like never before. Microsoft is surely giving other productivity app developers a sure shot run for their money! 12. POWERBI Power BI is an another tool that most of the office 365 users don’t bother using or not aware of the features that it binds. With the connectivity to almost all available data connectors and data sources, giving you the control over viewing insights on your massive datasets that make help you make decisions that are more accurate and smarter than ever. If you have not already looked at PowerBI then you better start right now 13. SHAREPOINT ONLINE SharePoint Online delivers the powerful features of SharePoint without the associated overhead of managing the infrastructure on your own. Flexible management options ensure that you still retain the control you need to meet the compliance requirements of your organization. You can purchase SharePoint in the cloud as a standalone offering or as part of an Office 365 suite, where you can also get access to Exchange, OneDrive for Business, Skype for Business, the Office clients, and web apps. 14. DATA LOSS PREVENTION AND INFORMATION PROTECTION A company’s lifeblood is its data and documents. Losing these can be disastrous and Office 365’s data protection and backup offers you the peace of mind that you’ll never lose the data you use. Rights management, data loss prevention, and encryption for Exchange Online, Skype for Business, and SharePoint Online help keep your content safe in email, IM and meetings, and team sites. 15. PROFESSIONAL DIGITAL STORYTELLING With Sway, a new Office 365 app, you can easily create engaging, interactive web-based reports, presentations, newsletters, trainings and more—right from your phone, tablet, or browser. Sways are easy to share and look great on any screen. With the already existing templates and then and the ability to custom generate them based on your content, Sway is a smart tool that brings your presentations to life. What are you waiting for? If these reasons are not compelling enough for you to make the decision, then I don’t know what you are looking for in a enterprise grade productivity solution. It maybe not be an easy journey to make to Office 365 all at once. It would require careful planning and user adoption training before the entire suite of services are brought to use. However, with the right tools, right plans and the right partner, who will be able to make the transition and adaptability without any glitches or inconvenience. ...read more

Web Security is also known as ‘Cyber Security’ is about protecting Websites by detecting, identifying and preventing attacks. By implementing a series of protective measures and protocols the website can be protected from being attacked or hacked or its security being compromised. A Website attack not only destroys your website but also results in loss of reputation, decrease in the number of visitors. Web Security needs to be adopted right from the beginning of website development and has to be proactively monitored, maintained to keep up the new threats coming with advanced technology. A Website attack will typically result in crashing or slowing down of the website, loss of traffic and loss of sensitive client information. Some of the most common types of risk of that arise due to lack of proper Web Security are Malware: Some software that is specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system. Backlisting: Your site can be removed from search engine page results and highlighted with a warning that makes visitors away if search engines find malware Vulnerability exploits: Cyber hackers can get a chance to access your site and your business information stored on it by exploiting weak areas in a site, with an obsolete plugin. Defacement: It is an attack on a website that changes the visual appearance of the site or a webpage. With a proactive approach, the website is protected from malicious software which is injected into the site to gather data, redirect traffic or even hijack computer resources. By implementing the following best practices, web security is proactively managed, securing your website and visitors, in turn resulting in increased revenue and growth. SSL certificates: SSL certificates protect the data collected by your website, like emails and credit card numbers, as it is transferred from your site to a server. Web application firewall (WAF): It stops automated attacks that commonly target small or lesser-known websites. Website scanner: A website scanner looks for vulnerabilities, malware, and other security problems so that you can mitigate them correctly. Software updates: Websites hosted on a content management system (CMS) are at a higher risk of compromise due to weaknesses and security issues often found in third-party plugins and applications. These can be secured by installing updates to plugins and core software in a timely manner. Secure your site with HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is an internet communication protocol that safeguards the integrity and confidentiality of data between the user’s computer and the website. Data sent using HTTPS is protected via Transport Layer Security protocol, which affords three key layers of protection: Encryption: encrypting the exchanged data to keep it protected from eavesdroppers. Data integrity: data can’t be changed or corrupted during transfer, purposely or otherwise, without being detected. Authentication: It protects against attacks and creates user trust, which translates into other business benefits. SSO based Multi-Factor Authentication for Web Security: Single Sign-On (SSO) is an advanced authentication technique which streamlines the login process, permitting you access to multiple applications by logging in just once. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) allows you to add a layered authentication process by merging login credentials with independent identity elements. Diligence, Policies, and Firewalls for Cross-site script (XSS) attack: Diligence, Policies, and Firewalls are the most commonly used solutions for protecting against XSS and other web app attacks. Cross-site scripting is used by attackers to insert malicious code into vulnerable web apps. Implement secure backup and recovery: Businesses large or small understand the impact with data loss due to a catastrophic occurrence. Having a strategy in place to get back up and running should something happen is vital to survival. In conclusion, these are the simplest and yet effective ways that you can keep your website secure from the risks. But also, you must always be alert in protecting your website, and never stop seeking security protections for your website. Get in touch with us to find out how we can help keep your website safe and secure. ...read more

Looking for solutions to support the growth of your business? Or are you eyeing to cut down on your operational expenses? Either way the first thing that comes into anyone’s mind would be; how will I build my team going forward. In a market fraught with uncertainty, many companies have focused on cutting expenses, growing their teams, increasing productivity and efficiency as a way to maintain their growth streak. At the same time, maintaining the same quality, assurance and looking to stem market share losses. Have you considered Virtual Teams as a solution? If not, you should do it right away. As teams start growing and an organization grows beyond one single office location into multiple locations and most often across multiple countries or downsizing/ reorganizing to reduce labor costs, eliminate redundancy, and better target scarce resources. Does your organization see the opportunity here working with virtual teams or does it visualize the challenges associated with managing the remote teams? Yes, most of us would agree that managing virtual teams of technologists has often been a challenge. Managing teams that are sitting in right in front of you all the time is much easier. To make our lives easier, the markets have flooded with solutions such as Office 365, Skype for Business, Asana, Slack and others that help you collaborate with your teams, no matter where you are, as long as you have connectivity to the internet! However, like I mentioned earlier, most of us talk about the challenges and even at times go deeper into reasons on why virtual teams don’t work. However, most of fail to embark on a journey to discover what failed along the way even though there exist tools and technologies that are there to make your lives easier than ever. LET’S TALK ABOUT CHALLENGES The right vendor who fits into your business needs and helps you setup teams that match your requirements, specifications and expectations. Difficulties in communicating and understanding one another, resulting in a lack of common ground, trust, and shared responsibility Failure to develop task-related processes such as setting clear goals and standards Inability to collaborate in a way that takes advantage of different perspectives, knowledge, talent, and expertise A lack of full engagement and commitment by all team members to deliver their best performances when completing tasks and progressing toward team goals Leaders accustomed to observing and interacting with their team of engineers face to face often find it difficult to coach, motivate, and otherwise manage a dispersed team to achieve the highest possible performance. So how do leaders adapt to overcome barriers and lead effectively from a distance and yet achieve the same goals as they would have with localized teams of developers and testers? STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL REMOTE TEAM MANAGEMENT Choosing the responsible virtual team vendor who provides, manages and ensures the capabilities of your teams. Maintain Strong Communication Channels Create a Collaborative Mindset Clarify the team’s purpose and goals Establish performance standards and expectations Celebrate Milestones and Successes Build plans to ensure complete engagement of your teams and resources. Have a face to face interaction via video calling tools Virtual Assistants hiring has become an opportunity now as model of engagement in comparison to your in-house human resource. As a matter of fact, it confers flexibility in selecting your resource as and when needed. Moreover, it keeps you away from chasing offshore freelancers with lack of commitment. As an virtual remote resources business agency, remote teams hiring services save you a great deal of cost besides ensuring that the quality of work delivered is of superlative degree due to multitude of options and talents available to choose from. HIRE THE BEST TALENT Dedicated hiring gives you the option of choosing the best talent, which is in-line with your programming and development needs; and you get specialists in all the fields including SEO, .Net, CMS, JAVA, PHP, Mobile Application developers and many more. You can also increase or decrease the size of your team with time, thereby, optimizing your operational cost and scaling as needed. LET GO OFF THE HIRING AND MANAGING OVERHEADS Your vendor not only takes care of your hiring process, providing you options that you can select from and supports infrastructure like hardware and software, office space fall under the ambit of your service provider. Thus, it negates your focus required on unnecessary tasks while concentrating more on the actual task. Focus on your core business rather than bothering about things that can eat away your productive time. REMOTELY MANAGE YOUR OFFSHORE TEAM AT YOUR CONVENIENCE Your remote team albeit part of a different country/ continent, are available for communicating with you and collaborate at your convenience and availability. The service provider equips your dedicated team with the necessary communication support including video conferencing, PC sharing, high speed data sharing and mobile connectivity so that you gain a real control over your virtual employees by monitoring them remotely. BYPASS LEGAL BOUNDARIES Is your remote team spread across the globe serving different needs? Irrespective of that, you save yourself from delving into legal issues including Government clearances, taxes or company registration specific to the laws of the land whether it is North America, Asia or Latin America for that matter. Everything will be taken care by the service provider. Besides the legal issues. Some vendors offer additional level of assurance and guaranteed value by offering maintenance warranty and liability insurance. CONTROL OVER DATA SECURITY Virtual employees in developing countries have access to sensitive information of your business but with cloud-based servers owned by your company, whole information is stored within your company’s servers. Moreover, data security is of utmost importance to the well-established vendors. While choosing a vendor, it is extremely important to choose teams and vendors who are truly genuine and have proven track record. Companies like banks and other private institutions need to operate under strict compliance rules and it is extremely important that the vendor is capable of delivering what is needed. ACCOUNTABILITY The Remote Team agency is entirely responsible for keeping a check on the workers and their functioning; and they make sure that the dedicated team working under your company is aligned to your instructions and developmental goals. Besides this, any goof-up and irregularity by your team are daily reported to you so that you can take timely action. STAFF MANAGEMENT The virtual team working beneath you is under a contractual agreement with the vendor. Consequently, all HR related issues like employee leave and employee benefits are subjected under vendor’s jurisdiction and control. Thus, leaving you unbothered about any issues with managing teams. Whether it is attrition rate or salary hike, none of it is your concern as far as your work is being delivered. Furthermore, you need not invest in annual bonuses, insurance and medical allowances. NURTURE LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP Your in-house team works in tandem with the offshore dedicated team. Continuous working over various projects develops a level of understanding between culturally different teams, thereby, nourishing strong working relationship among them. Collaboration and communication are the key success aspects here and having a vendor as a partner who understands this becomes extremely important. MAKE SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS Due to growing needs and requirements of businesses, continuous upgradation of both systems and in-house resources becomes extremely important. And these tasks don’t come cheap and have often expensive training costs associated with them. By having the responsibility transferred to your software vendor, your life becomes extremely simple as the vendor would be the one responsible to make sure all the resources are trained to the latest tools and technologies. All things said, the advantages of having and maintaining virtual teams are extremely high however, the path to success with virtual teams is not simple has its own set of challenges. Choosing a partner who understands your needs is the most critical step that needs to be taken. Failure to do so might result in failure of your projects and the purpose of hiring remote teams. However, this by no means guarantees success if you maintain in-house teams. Both in-house and virtual teams have their own set of challenges and each can be solved based on the right vendor chosen. With the amount of tools, processes and proven methodologies, today’s world is seeing a revolution with virtual teams and make the world seem closer and smaller than ever. Now the question remains, are you ready for setting your perfect virtual team? ...read more
