Microsoft Teams is a fabulous product. Its versatility makes it an ideal solution for small and large organisations of all types. However, to get the most of it and explore all the advanced features, you will need a plan to get it up and running properly.

The Best Technology, Available Everywhere.
Work from anywhere at any time, with the added collaborative capabilities that only the Cloud can provide.
For the past decade, we have provided communications, email and disaster recovery solutions in the cloud. That is now expanding into other functional areas of business. Almost every infrastructure refresh discussion that we have raises questions about how to leverage cloud solutions to business advantage.
Our approach starts with a review of your business, the critical business applications, and how you collaborate with your staff and 3rd parties. There are enormous benefits available to using platforms such as Office 365, Azure and Enterprise File Share solutions. It is simply a matter of identifying them.

Protecting all your devices, wherever they are.
In today’s complex working environments, securing desktop machines is not enough. Every device connected to your network must be protected.
We use a secure Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution that helps businesses spend less time and effort to manage and secure traditional and mobile endpoints.
The only UEM solution that integrates natively with a leading next-gen endpoint security platform, Sophos Mobile supports management of Windows 10, macOS, iOS, and Android devices.

There are often legal requirements and business reasons to ensure that important emails are retained in a tamper-proof archive and easily searched. There are often quality of life and productivity reasons to keep a clean, and clutter free mailbox. Acting on both reasons helps your business stay compliant, and breathe easier.
Office 365’s recycle bin is NOT a backup solution. It has a very limited retention policy of 60 days before the information is deleted. This backup solution covers Office 365 Email, Sharepoint Sites and One Drive for Business. For example – any emails that you delete from your mailbox today will become inaccessible and unrecoverable within 60 days.
Spector IT offers a cloud-based solution that can hold the data indefinitely, and restore it quickly.

The Covid 19 lockdown has caused an explosion in targeted attacks on SMBs. Hackers are taking advantage of the confusion and new working practices to gain access and cause havoc through the disruption of Malware and the dreaded Ransomware.
As most attacks are being delivered through targeted Phishing and Identity compromise attacks, it is essential to defend against these invasions. To protect against these new attack vectors, it is imperative that you provide a layered approach to protecting your MS 365 platform.
We have started by providing a powerful email security tool and are now working with the balance of our clients to deliver the following. This is our new minimum standards for security tools, with further enhancements coming in the next 3-6 months for all clients.

FAQ
Most people are not aware of all the possibilities within the realm of Cloud Computing. To help you make an informed decision, we made an article which compiles useful links and guides covering the most important aspects.
You can read it here and find out What you Need to Know about Cloud Computing.
Whether they realise it or not, most businesses are already using the cloud. Every day, more and more applications are moving to cloud-based platforms. However, we recommend to clients that they start with the basics (such as backup, phone or email) and progress from there once they see for themselves the tangible benefits of cloud-based services.
As a senior manager of an SME, you are faced with many challenges including increasing profitability and growth while reducing operating costs. Most businesses are looking to technology to help achieve these goals. Over recent years, there has been a shift in how infrastructure and software are delivered as more cloud-based services become available.
Since you generally only pay for what you consume, this can offer savings and flexibility to many small and mid-sized companies. Spector will help you make informed decisions about your company’s adoption of cloud technology.
In our experience, clients who have moved services to the cloud have not only made cost savings; they’ve also improved their business through the increased flexibility it affords. The key benefit is that employees are able to access systems and be productive no matter where they are.
To put it in simple terms, a Hybrid Cloud is a mash-up of on-premises and off-premises IT resources. You can utilise a “public cloud”, commercialised by an external vendor, to augment or replicate the resources of your own data centre, or your “private cloud”. By combining the best of these two you will have a Hybrid Cloud, with extra security and flexibility to manage your data assets and workload.
Depending on your business needs, we can advise on the creation and management of a Hybrid Cloud. By doing it right, you are more likely to save money and have the resources you need when you need them.
