Built-In Security
24-Hour Monitored Physical Hardware
Office 365 data is stored in the Microsoft network of data centers, run by Microsoft Global Foundation Services and strategically located around the world. These data centers are built from the ground up to protect services and data from harm by natural disaster or unauthorized access. Data center access is restricted 24 hours per day by job function so that only essential personnel have access to customer applications and services. Physical access control uses multiple authentication and security processes, including badges and smart cards, biometric scanners, on-premises security officers, continuous video surveillance, and two-factor authentication. The data centers are monitored using motion sensors, video surveillance, and security breach alarms. Security in the event of natural disaster includes seismically braced racks where required and automated fire prevention and extinguishing systems.
Isolated Customer Data
One reason Office 365 is both scalable and low cost is that it is a multi-tenant service (that is, data from different customers shares the same hardware resources). Office 365 is designed to host multiple tenants in a highly secure way through data isolation. Data storage and processing for each tenant is segregated through Active Directory® structure and capabilities specifically developed to help build, manage, and secure

The Ullman, Manly, & Ulysses Corporation (UMUC) has grown substantially in the past decade. It has grown from one location and a few local customers to the international provider it is today. The 250 employees serve more than 75,000 customers worldwide from four
“We looked across all categories and found that Microsoft best fit our needs”, says Brenna Berman Chief Information Officer for the City of Chicago . (2015) One of the biggest benefits to the city in moving its operations to the cloud was the reduction of managed infrastructure. The primary focus of the move was email services; however, Office applications and collaboration systems were also a huge benefit as well. The management of IT infrastructure is expensive and can remain a moving target from a maintenance and security
My White paper will focus on the benefits and disadvantages of the Telecommunication Act of 1996. Is the Telecommunications Act of 1996 good for America? This is the question my White paper will answer. On February 8th, 1996 President Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act into law. Does the Telecommunication Act help or hinder the average consumer? Does the Telecommunications Act help big businesses or small businesses? Does the Telecommunications Act of 1996 create open and fair competition in America? Does the Telecommunications Act of 1996 need updating? These are a few questions my White paper will answer.
4. Licensing Cost- If we are able to use the cloud technology to grant access for the Microsoft program as people need them instead of having them installed on someone’s computer that never uses them.
Workflows are tools that manage personal, office, department or an entire organization's processes. A SharePoint workflow is an automated flowchart that takes a lot of the effort, guesswork, and arbitrariness out of your regular work processes and makes it simpler for you to streamline your tasks. It is most useful in automating existing conceptual or manual work processes of the company and reducing human dependence on enterprise as far as possible.
Companies that sell new, complex or expensive things must wait for the approval of a committee to close business. It is a process involving several people and can last for weeks, months and even years. This can limit the number of the transactions. A white paper simplifies this process. Using facts and logic, a white paper educates, informs and persuades the potential customers. The following article discusses the advantages of this tool to companies.

Microsoft (MS) is a multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses, and supports a wide range of software products for computing devices. In the mid 1990’s, Microsoft held the monopoly in the production of Operating Systems (OS) for personal computers (PC). When their monopoly was threatened by Netscape, MS began bundling the Internet Explorer (IE) web browser with Windows, using cross-promotional deals with internet service providers (ISP), and prevented PC makers from customizing the opening screen showing Microsoft. These actions, which some view as illegal and unethical, dissolved any competition, raised the barriers of entry and inhibited
As the phenomenon of consumerization continues to become more pervasive across enterprises, CIOs must think differently about the technologies they use and how those technologies enhance the end-user experience, while also balancing the supportability and security of the IT environment. Technologies must not hinder employee productivity, and yet must protect enterprise data and the firm’s intellectual property. Consumerization has also forced CIOs to make significant changes in policies, security, and infrastructure. Additionally, CIOs must consider the end-user’s use of the technology, and consider their need to access data and applications while in the field. With this in mind, CIOs are turning to cloud and virtualization technologies to provide the ultimate in flexibility and choice, while maintaining security.
Cloud computing has drastically reordered the economics of how every size and type of business uses software. For the large enterprise there is no longer the need to go through an extensive capital expense (CAPEX) budgeting process, often involving the board of directors of a business (Aljabre, 2012). Cloud computing software is often pad for through operating expense (OPEX) budgets, which shifts the control of its budgeting to the line-of-business managers or those managers and executives responsible for a given business unit. This dynamic alone has completely reordered the enterprise software market, as cloud-based applications can often be modified significantly faster than on-premise applications (Lin, Chen, 2012). As a result of this flexibility, enterprises, medium-size and small businesses are all relying on cloud-based applications to automate those process areas that had been expensive and
afford. This in turn has led to the rise of cloud computing to fill market needs with
Microsoft unveiled its Whiteboard app prior to this year and has promised to make it available to all Office users by the end of 2017. To give you a little hint of this app, Microsoft has just released a preview version of Whiteboard today to all Windows 10 devices, allowing multiple people to share and collaborate using digital ink.
