ZAG Among Top Microsoft Partners in the World to Offer Office 365

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , — zagtech @

SAN JOSE, CA – June 28, 2011 – ZAG Technical Services, a Microsoft Gold Partner, is among the first resellers to offer the new Microsoft Office 365 Suite in Northern California and is a leader in the delivery of the service. In fact, Microsoft has identified 62 partners in the world that are leaders in the Office 365 service. ZAG is ranked consistently in the top of this classification.

With Office 365, people can come together from anywhere and work together more easily, meeting face-to-face online, sharing work in real time, and accessing email and calendars on virtually any device. Smaller businesses can create and maintain a custom website, manage data and stay in control of sensitive information – without the need to manage traditional infrastructure.

The worldwide availability of Office 365 marks the moment when small, midsize and enterprise businesses don’t have to settle for ‘good enough’ productivity and collaboration technology in the cloud, and no longer need to struggle to maintain classic IT infrastructure.

“ZAG has been working with the Office 365 Beta and is very familiar with the new offering,” said Greg Gatzke, Principal of ZAG, “We are looking forward to the future that Office 365 provides and helping companies adopt the Office 365 Suite.”

As Jon Arikata from Microsoft puts it, “ZAG was an early adopter of the Microsoft Online offerings and they are very familiar with the product. ZAG is one of our top managed partners who have gained unparalleled technical expertise with the Office 365 Suite. We are pleased with their commitment to the product and knowledge that they bring to bear as one of our preferred delivery partners.”

ZAG Technical Services is a premier provider of Microsoft Online services. We have moved both major Enterprises and Small to Medium sized business to the Microsoft Online service. With this history, we are ideally suited to assist companies with:
• The determination as to whether or not Microsoft Office 365 is a good fit for their business.
• The setup and configuration of the service.
• The migration of all users to the Microsoft Office 365 Suite.

ZAG will work with companies to determine if the service is a fit for their company and will set them up on Microsoft Office 365 for free. ZAG can also assist with the setup of synchronization with Microsoft Office 365 and the migration of the users on a Time and Materials basis.
