A bit of Q&A…

Q: What mail and web security solutions are being used? 

On-premise or hosted?   

What were the most important decision criteria?

Q: Are the mail and web security being managed in house, or managed by a partner / managed service provider?

Q: Are you looking at outsourcing your email infrastructure, such as moving to Office 365 or something similar? 

Why or why not?

Q: Do any of you currently use or are thinking about deploying a unified comms platform or video conf? (e.g. Skype, G-Talk, Microsoft Lync)

If so, why do you believe this will be beneficial to you and how do you measure the true ROI of this investment?

Q: If you could name one thing that would make the decision to deploy video conferencing within your company easier to make, what would it be?

Q: Peripherals (mice, keyboards, webcams, headsets) for your employees.:

Do you see a value in ergo-nomically-correct peripherals, letting employees choose their own colors or any of these enhancing overall productivity?

If so, what brands come to mind?

What’s New? What’s Next?
