Non-Profit Office 365 Benefits

There are some very cool Office 365 benefits for Non-Profit Organizations. Many NPOs already know about cheap software benefits using TechSoup.org, where any 501(c)(3) can grab Office 2013 for $24 a license, and Windows 8.1 Enterprise for $12. There are several low-cost hardware and software offerings (laptops/desktops/phones/Quickbooks/Exchange, etc). These offers are really great for NPOs to keep their costs down when running their own services, but for small NPOs, running servers on site can be a real pain, and more expensive when taking into consideration the cost of support. Google Apps for NPOs is a good option, but many people are remiss to give up the awesome collaboration benefits of Exchange and Outlook.

There’s a better option. Office 365 is being offered to NPOs for free and low cost options. Let’s look at one TH2 Client to see the benefits up front:
Situation: NPO Client has 2 servers, both are old and need to be replaced. This NPO was running Exchange 2003, Active Directory, and Raiser’s Edge and Financial Edge.
Solution 1: They need at least one server to replace the two, something that can run Active Directory and their financial programs on site. But, do they need a new Exchange server as well? The server alone was quoted out at $3,000, and then there was the install cost, and our $100 a month Exchange management cost.
Solution 2: Now, let’s look at an Office 365 solution for this same NPO. No server to replace Exchange, but there is the cutover project to move them to Office 365. The cost of this project was approximately the same as the setup cost of Exchange 2013 on new hardware. The difference is there is no hardware fee to go along with it. They have 7 users on site, and we change $12 per mailbox to manage Office 365. They are now at $84 dollars per month with more services, a lower initial investment, and lower long term costs. Costs like major updates to Exchange, future hardware updates, power and cooling costs, and of course, they have no offsite backup cost and a SLA from Microsoft guaranteeing 99.9% uptime of their services.

Summary
This is a great example of what NPOs are able to accomplish using the new offerings from Microsoft. Lower costs all around, and honestly, a better setup. If you’re an NPO, and you’re looking for an IT company that puts you, your needs, and your mission first, give us a call. We’d love to work with you, and get you on board with any of the many benefits you rightly deserve. You put the time and effort into getting your NPO status, let us do the rest of the work required to obtain and leverage your benefits.

Business Apps For Mobile Devices

In keeping with the theme of mobile technologies, applications play a vital role in both the success and efficiency of mobile devices. Unlike mobile applications that are for recreation and those for personal use, business applications, especially those built to be proprietary must not only be built from the ground up to cater to one specific business but must be reliable and easy to use as well. Many business owners and managers give serious consideration to utilizing proprietary business apps but don't know where to begin.

TH2 Technologies takes hassles, worries, and concerns and lays them to rest with regards to business app design and management. We employ a team of extremely talented persons who are more than adept at building both iOS and Android apps for businesses. It doesn't matter whether you sell shoes, you run a catering business, or are a gaming website; efficiency and reliability of your business apps are crucial to the success of your business. Our team builds each and every business application from the ground up to suit the needs of both a business and its owners/managers. Whether a client requests an extremely complicated mobile application or a very simple one our team has got you covered.

It's one thing to incorporate mobile devices into your businesses infrastructure but it's another beast altogether to incorporate business applications. If you need business applications that are not just reliable but safe, secure, and easy-to-use feel free to contact us anytime for a free quote. Our friendly staff can also answer any questions you may have and will be happy to lay any concerns you may have the rest.

Internet Browsing Policies And Monitoring Software

Almost every business that utilizes computers must inevitably deal with employees that browse the Internet when they should be working. All businesses have some sort of browsing policy in place that either allows or disallows employees to surf the Internet. The trouble for business owners/managers comes not in creating browsing policies but in enforcing those policies.

In order to enforce browsing policies business owners/managers must turn to software for help. Now there's plenty of software available that either prohibits or limits employee Internet browsing but some of these are so intrusive and overly effective that they make it difficult for employees to utilize the Internet for legitimate business purposes. Other programs don't go far enough and clever employees will find exploits around weak prohibitions. Software that controls, limits, and monitors employee browsing isn't difficult to find but the trick is finding and implementing software that's just right for your business.

Here at TH2 Technologies we customize our services to meet the needs of our individual clients and their businesses. We can implement browsing software that not only helps you increase productivity but is fair to both your business and its employees. Whether you have a strict anti-browsing policy, you have a lenient policy, or you have one that fall somewhere in between those two types we can help. Policing employee browsing effectively is key to keeping productivity up and trouble down. Should you have any questions about our internet browsing business software please do not hesitate to contact us, we would be happy to help and provide you with a free consultation as well as a free estimate.

"Downgrading" From Windows 8

To assert that Windows 8 disappointed would be an understatement. This is especially true if you're speaking strictly of businesses. The mobile interface on desktops and terminals used in business not only confused employees but made them far less productive than they were utilizing a previous version of Microsoft's operating system. Add to this the learning curve that Windows 8 required, even from savvy individuals, and it's not hard to see why many businesses skipped upgrading to the latest version of Windows and are waiting for Windows 9.

There are those businesses however that did upgrade to Windows 8 but now need or want to go back to a previous version of Windows. This decision is completely understandable and has helped many a business return to higher levels of productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. If you are the owner/manager of a business that needs to "downgrade" to previous version of Windows we can help. While it's certainly true that we help a great deal of businesses upgrade their operating systems we can handle the return to a previous one as well.

Our goal is to help make businesses and their networks/computers run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. We reach his goal through our networking, IT, and computer services. Don't just hire anyone to handle a change in operating system for your business. The process requires experienced hands and great attention to detail. Should you be interested or need to move from Windows 8 back to a previous version of the operating system for any reason please do not hesitate to contact us as we will be happy to assist you and provide you with a free consultation and estimate as well.

Windows Upgrades For Businesses: Now Or Later?

For many business owners staying on the cutting edge of technology whereas their networks and computers are concerned is of the utmost importance. Having their networks and individual  computers or terminals up-to-date ensures ease-of-use, reduces problems, and ensures productivity stays high. For many businesses keeping on the cutting edge of technology involves the upgrade of their existing operating system.

While many businesses are often hesitant to upgrade to the next version of Microsoft's Windows many find it necessary because the operating system they're currently using becomes so outdated as to cause problems with new applications and programs. Such is the case with many businesses to utilize Windows 7 or even Vista. While we can certainly help you upgrade to Windows 8 keep in mind that Windows 9 is just around the corner and will be a far more refined and comprehensive operating system than Windows 8 ever will be. Generally speaking when a business upgrades its operating system it will want to wait until a revision is released. Business owners and managers should think of Windows 9 as that revision.

Should you need assistance upgrading to Windows 8 or should you have questions about waiting until Windows 9 is released please don't hesitate to contact us. We can help both small and midsize businesses make a problem free upgrade.
