T H White approached Bechtle with the need for a better e-mail solution that properly catered for mobile users. They were using a POP3 mail system which worked, however did not synchronise with mobile devices or allow remote wipe & control of devices. With a growing number of mobile users a better service was vital in order to gain better control, such as the ability to remotely wipe devices if they were lost or stolen.
Bechtle, as a Microsoft Office 365 Cloud Accelerate partner, discussed with T H White the various benefits that Office 365 Exchange Online could bring to their business, including increased mobility, increased security, reduced administration and also moving to an Opex payment model.
Bechtle arranged a 30 day trial of Office 365 Exchange Online for T H White, which allowed them to test out the features in their own environment and with their own users. Bechtle also covered the different plans and pricing to help T H White choose an option that suited them best and was scalable for their entire organisation.
