Support contract for MAC – PC mixed environment
2012 April 17 by admin
As a mixed environment business ourselves we understand the challenge of mixed operating system environments. We spearheaded the push in the UK to Google apps by replacing our Microsoft SBS server, with Google Apps Cloud infrastructure.
However this is not the ideal for all businesses. Some companies use Mac as an interior design accessory without considering the interoperability of the application layer, operating system and email delivery / control and storage.
We realise the cultural shift from a Microsoft desktop environment to working on and generating documents in Google Docs can be a shift too far for staff used to ms for the last 20 years.
Some of our clients insist on using Outlook for calendaring and mail, this can have mixed results and can cause dupe issues and double or triplicate entrys in a shared calendar.
Ironically in this environment installing a Microsoft Small business Server environment can work better with Macs, it also allows iPad integration and multiple vendor phone integration from blackberry to iPhone to Android.
Of course we are also happy to guide you through and manage a Google Apps environment for your PC or mac office

Smartinfo Ltd are located in City of London, its based leading supplier of Alcatel, Mitel and Samsung telephone systems along with electronic surveillance and mobile phone solutions.
As business innovator and market leaders, employees at Smartinfo are convinced that all telephone system users should make their telephone systems work harder for them. There are many ways this can be achieved.
Key personnel can be setup to work from a home extension and receive all their calls in the normal way. The caller can’t tell if the receipient is in the office or not. Cut out the travel time and get more work done. This is achieved by IP telephony.
By the addition of a dialler application to the system the credit control part of the business can be made 50% more effective. It is hard the believe but 2 people doing the work of 3 is a fantastic result for any business.
