Why switch to Office 365? Attend our demonstration to find out.

February 19, 2013 – 10:37 pm

Are you curious about what Office 365 is all about? Do you know the difference between Office 2013 and Office 365?

Join us at our information session at our Calgary office on Wednesday, February 27, or via webinar on Thursday, February 28, 2013.

Can you go one day at the office without at least one of the Microsoft Office products? We can’t imagine how our office would run without Outlook, Excel, Word, and Lync.

Office is arguably one of the most essential software packages we know of and a new version always means changes for our staff.

With Office 2013 being released, you and your organization may be asking yourselves the “when will I upgrade” question. We want to introduce another question to you: “HOW will I upgrade”. Your organization has others options other than installing local copies of Office on each machine.

You may want to consider Office 365, an extension of Office 2013 that allows you to:

  • Significantly lower IT costs by moving to cloud servers where your data is automatically backed up and duplicated to multiple data sites.
  • Stop worrying about deleting important email messages and experience unlimited archive capacity with your hosted Exchange Server.
  • Always have the latest version of Office installed on up to five devices you work with.
  • Communicate with co-workers through Lync Online and make collaborating, instant messaging, checking availability, and calling PC to PC seamless.
  • And many more…

Christian Roach, of Open Door Technology, is going to be presenting the new features and advantages of Office 365 at two separate sessions. Register today!

Cut Paper, Chop Costs – Field Mobility Solutions Increase Your Bottom Line

November 14, 2011 – 6:00 pm

Join us for our upcoming webinar on November 30, 2011 at 9:00 am MT and see how a mobility solution addresses common challenge areas for corporations including:

Paperwork Challenge: Paper is easily lost, so why not eliminate it? For organizations with multiple and remote locations the process of organizing paperwork to be sent out and received back in a timely manner can be quite challenging.

Duplicate Data Entry Challenge: Field workers fill out paperwork away from the office and then send the information back to the office to be entered into payroll, invoicing, safety tracking, and asset maintenance. The potential for errors and timing problems with payroll and invoicing is significant.

Invoicing Challenges: Paper field invoices have great potential for error because of the manual calculations required and missing line items. A delay in getting tickets may delay invoices up to 60 days.

Staff Efficiency: Communication between the office and field workers relies on telephone or email which can result in lost information or delays in getting job information. The head office does not have the ability to track progress automatically throughout the day or know where their workers are.

A mobility solution from Open Door Technology can address all of these challenges and more. Join us for a webinar to see how a field mobility solution will revolutionize the way you do business.
