of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry India’s oldest and largest business
organization. FICCI evaluated top-hosted
solutions from Google, IBM and Microsoft, they decided to choose Microsoft
Office 365 to upgrade their current Reddiffmail server to achieved more stable
platform in terms of service, security and platform.

Office 365 are compatibility of their current system setup, Active Directory
synchronization, SLA (Service Level Agreement) of 99.9 percent, ease on setting
up on the devices like Windows Phone, Blackberry, iPhone and Android platforms.

Lync. The migration to Office 365 will add more licenses on MS Exchange that
benefits the organization.
“We looked for ways to deliver cloud on our terms along with enterprise-class security, thereby reducing capex. Microsoft Office
365 emerged as a better fit with our overall IT strategy, as it is much more
integrated and advanced than Google Apps and offers more of the functionality
our employees need. Combined with the extended functionality in Lync Online,
Office 365 offers much more enterprise value than Google.” (Rajiv Mishra,

Apps look outdated as Microsoft India General Manager says “Office 365 clearly
makes Google Apps look outdated when it comes to enterprise-class security and
delivering cloud on your terms.”
