Amici Procurement provides small to medium-sized companies in
the bio-tech sector with a unique procurement service, helping them
with all aspects of the purchasing cycle to help them obtain best
value. Its IT platform hosts more than 4 million products from more
than 3000 suppliers.
Caroline Briggs, owner of Amici
Procurement, says, "Office 365 is a natural progression for us. We
are a specialist in providing procurement services, not hosting,
and we had got to the point where it didn't make sense to keep
diverting resources to maintain and backup a server any more. We
already hosted our IT platform with iomart and we knew they had the
expertise as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider to take us to
Office 365."
iomart worked with Amici Procurement to scope its existing local
Hosted Exchange solution to create a roadmap to move data to the
cloud. This included the creation of new mailboxes, the import of
existing Whitelists and setting up of all the various distribution
groups and shared mailboxes.
Amici Procurement now has a professional Office 365 solution
including an enterprise email system, instant messaging platform
and the full suite of Office applications including Word and Excel.
Office 365 also allows the team to share calendars and collaborate
on documents online.
iomart was one of the first cloud service providers to be chosen
by Microsoft as a Tier 1 member of its Cloud Solution Provider
Programme in Europe. This allows
iomart to directly provision, manage and support as well as provide
direct billing for Office 365.
