Cloud computing is a hot topic in the business world today because it offers so many options for mobility, flexibility, and maybe most importantly- price! You may be asking yourself, “how do I know if cloud computing is right for my business?” The best way to find out is through a trial version to see how it works with your existing systems and how it can streamline the business processes you already have in place.

The Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (BPOS) gives your business the powerful productivity capabilities of Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Microsoft Office Communications Server, and Microsoft Office Live Meeting –all hosted online and all up and running quickly and easily without the upfront costs of an on-premise deployment.

TMR Technology’s Proof of Concept (PoC) program for BPOS allows you to test drive it for 30 days, so you know for sure it will work for you. Even with a test drive, it’s sometimes difficult to know what questions to ask. We have compiled three questions you’ll want to keep in mind while on your test drive to help you decide if your company can really benefit from BPOS in the long run:

· Question 1: Does your business model benefit from being able to work anywhere, at any time, through your web browser? With BPOS hosted online, the mobility options are endless.

· Question 2: Do you lack resources to build an infrastructure and have limited resources within your IT department. If so, cloud computing options are right for you. With everything hosted in the cloud, you don’t need to hire extra resources just to cover the solution.

· Question 3: Are software licensing costs, support and maintenance too expensive for your budget? Cloud computing’s flexible licensing options allow you to budget appropriately.

Check out more details on how PoC sets you up with a fully functional BPOS environment and contact us for more information. In addition to the functional BPOS account, we will also provide you with a customized set of documentation that offers specific guidance to help you with your move to BPOS.
