• 365iQ's usage analytics enable informed decision making and time and cost savings for Microsoft® Office 365TMmigrations
• Microsoft co-hosts live round table with Centrix Software: ‘Is Office 365 right for your organisation?'
Centrix Software, the workspace management solutions expert, today announced a new interface for WorkSpace 365iQ; providing the most advanced insight available on Office 365 usage and migration. 365iQ analyses application usage data against requirements for Office 365, across the entire IT estate.
365iQ allows organisations to match user behaviour to their license plan requirements - and deliver projects faster by identifying users that can migrate now, or with the least effort. All of the insights of 365iQ are now available through a simple-to-use web interface, which makes it even easier to understand Office 365 project requirements at a glance. 365iQ is a hosted Software-as-a-Service offering, built on Microsoft Azure, which means there's no infrastructure to purchase or manage. Businesses can start gathering usage analytics almost immediately, with initial results available in less than 48 hours.
While many are looking to migrate to Office 365, there are many different drivers and working out a plan to migrate can be a complicated process. A recent IT end user report from Centrix Software showed office productivity to be the top cloud application category across all types of organisations. In support of this, 365iQ allows organisations to understand application, device and content usage and the work style profile of every user; providing the analytics needed to compare leading office productivity solutions. In addition, 365iQ allows organisations to right-size license costs and migrate office productivity solutions into the cloud accordingly.
365iQ provides all of the information you need to:
• Determine which users and devices are ready for migration now and automatically advise what actions are required for those not yet ready to move
• Match the right set of cloud office productivity applications to the right users based on Microsoft and non-Microsoft desktop and cloud usage
• Determine locations of content in use, document types and compatibility to efficiently plan how best to migrate data to the clou
• Get the most out of your chosen Office 365 license plan by tracking uptake of licensed functionality on an on-going basis
• Identify which users work with non-Microsoft products and how many of those products could be retired as part of a move to Office 365
Therefore 365iQ significantly accelerates overall time to migrate.
Lisa Hammond, CEO at Centrix Software said: "Customers who are thinking about moving to cloud-based office productivity solutions, such as Microsoft Office 365, need to understand very quickly what the benefits will be and how they will migrate users with the minimum of disruption."
She continued: "Centrix Software's desktop application usage analytics enables organisations to understand their requirements and optimise their licensing commitment."
Centrix Software will be jointly hosting a live round table session: Is Microsoft Office 365 right for your organisation with Microsoft and Softcat, on Thursday 5th February, at Cardinal Place, London.
