 What Technology will You Use?

There are options when it comes to upgrading your old Microsoft technologies but what is the best cost-effective solution for your business?

Some questions you may ask yourself are:

1. How much is it all going to cost?
2. Do we use the Cloud (Office 365) or an On-Premise (Office 2013/16) solution or combination thereof?
3. Windows 10?
4. Do you need to upgrade any hardware (servers, desktops, laptops, tablets, mobile phones)?
5. Do I need a mix or Microsoft, Linux or Apple?
6. Have I got the expertise and time resource in-house to do this seamlessly and effectively?
7. Do I have reliable partners that can assist?
8. Security, security, security!!
9. Do I need to export legacy data, and will it be compatible?
10. Oh no – I’m going to have to budget for training the end-users!

There are obviously more questions to ask but these are big issues in themselves.  A lot depends upon the size of the organisation, the complexity of the deployment and what you really want to be able to achieve at the end of it.  It’s a never ending cycle as technology forges ahead with better ways to get you to spend you money!

If you need any training, well you know who to ask!

Well Acrobat XI became Acrobat DC (why they couldn’t keep it to Creative Cloud (CC) like the other products? I’m sure someone out there has a good reason). DC just means you can now store your PDFs online and easily share with others for collaboration or digital signatures or on mobile devices i.e. a set of integrated online tools/ services that help people better manage documents.

DC now has free e-signatures for the first time – so you can create, edit, read, review, scan, sign, send, and track digital documents securely anywhere.

As always if you require training on Adobe Acrobat just get in touch!
