Get the power of cloud productivity while ensuring that your on-site apps and data are under control.

Many small businesses today are focused on providing the flexibility and freedom their employees need to do business anywhere—whether accessing the latest data on a customer visit or quickly reviewing a sales proposal while at the kids’ soccer game. At the same time, businesses need to ensure that their IT environment is protected and under control, providing the peace of mind that everything from mobile devices to on-site servers are well-managed and secure.

Together, Office 365 and Windows Server 2012 offer the best of both worlds—combining the power of cloud productivity with the peace of mind of knowing your on-site data and apps are under control.
