ONLINE REQUIREMENTS

As with any cloud/online service a critical requirement will be to ensure you have a robust internet connection. Can your internet cope with additional traffic outbound and inbound? Visit www.speedtest.net your PING should be less than 100ms, higher the download /upload speeds the better we recommend 2Mbps per user download and 0.5Mbps per user upload. If your upload is less than 3Mbps for the entire office services such as OneDrive may show limited performance. Fibre Optics provide superb internet speeds (sample specifications attached).

SYSTEM HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Newer computers will have an easier time using all the features but there are methods to still allow those older workstations connections provided these minimums:

• Internet Browser: The current or immediately previous version recommended (no IE8/9) • Operating System

o PC: Windows 7 SP1 or higher o Mac OS X 10.10 or higher

• Hard Drive Space o PC: 3GB o Mac 6GB

OFFICE 365 FAQ

Office 365 scenario-based training provides inspirational tutorials to show you how you and your team can transform the way you work. We’ll show you how to save your files to the cloud, so you can access them from anywhere.

What is Office 365? How is it different from Microsoft Office? Office 365. "Office 365" refers to subscription plans that include access to Office applications plus other productivity services that are enabled over the Internet (cloud services), such as Skype for Business web conferencing and Exchange Online hosted email for business, and additional online storage with OneDrive for Business and Skype minutes for home. Many Office 365 plans also include the desktop version of the latest Office applications, which users can install across multiple computers and devices. The full, installed applications include: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access. And you can install them across multiple devices, including PCs, Macs, Android tablets, Android phones, iPad, and iPhone. When you have an active Office 365 subscription that includes the desktop version of Office, you always have the most up-to-date version of the applications.

Will Office 365 work with my copy of Office? Office 365 works best with the latest version of Office, Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2016 for Mac, and Office 2011 for Mac. Office 365 works with slightly limited functionality with Office 2007. In addition to getting the latest version of Office as part of your subscription, you will also get automatic updates, so your Office will always be up to date.

Is Internet access required for Office 365? Internet access is required to install and activate all Office 365 plans and to manage your subscription account. Internet connectivity is also required to access Office 365 cloud productivity services, including email, conferencing, IT management, and other services. Many Office 365 plans also include the desktop version of Office, for example, Office 365 Business Premium and Office 365 Enterprise E3. One of the benefits of having the desktop version of Office applications is that you can work offline and have the confidence that the next time you connect to the Internet all your work will automatically sync, so you never have to worry about your documents being up to date.

What is the cloud? “The cloud" is a friendly way of describing web-based computing services that are hosted outside of your organization. When you use cloud-based services, your IT infrastructure resides off your property (off-premises), and is maintained by a third party (hosted), instead of residing on a server at your home or business (on-premises) that you maintain. With Office 365, for example, information storage, computation, and software are located and managed remotely on servers owned by Microsoft. Many services you use every day are a part of the cloud—everything from web-based email to mobile banking and online photo storage. Because this infrastructure is located online or “in the cloud,” you can access it virtually anywhere, from a PC, tablet, smartphone, or other device with an Internet connection.

REVIEWS & ROADMAPS

CNET Review on OneDrive Summary (February 2016) Source: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/onedrive-dropbox-google-drive-and-box-which-cloud-storage-service-is-right-for-you/

Where it excels • Works seamlessly with Windows devices because it's built in to the Windows operating system. • It's easy to open and edit files from OneDrive in Microsoft's other applications, such as Word or

Excel. • Signing up for OneDrive gets you a Microsoft account, which gives you access to Outlook, Xbox

Live, and other Microsoft services.

Best for: If you have a Windows PC, tablet and phone, and need to get to your files from any device with little effort.

“Why companies are switching from Google Apps to Office 365” Source: http://www.cio.com/article/2992546/office-software/why-companies-are-switching-from-google-apps-to-office-365.html?page=2 CIO.com Article (Chief Information Officer) (October 2015)

Highlights • McKinnon says. “For email, the user interface really matters. Google Apps is dramatically

different from Office and that’s pretty jarring for people who’ve been using Outlook for a long time…”

• The primary driver of this [Office365 selected over Google Apps] appears to be Outlook integration over everything else, followed by the inability to do some advanced things that Microsoft Office excels at.”

• Google started off as the leader; that spurred Microsoft to catch up, and Google hasn’t kept up, says Jewett. “Microsoft started from behind but they made the large investments.

APPENDIX: Office 365 Trust Center Source: https://products.office.com/en-ca/business/office-365-trust-center-cloud-computing-security

BUILT-IN SECURITY Office 365 is a security-hardened service, designed following the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle. We bring together the best practices from two decades of building enterprise software and managing online services to give you an integrated software-as-a-service solution. At the service level, Office 365 uses the defense-in-depth approach to provide physical, logical, and data layers of security features and operational best practices. In addition, Office 365 gives you enterprise-grade, user and admin controls to further secure your environment.

Physical security

• 24-hour monitoring of data centers. • Multi-factor authentication, including biometric scanning for data center access. • Internal data center network is segregated from the external network. • Role separation renders location of specific customer data unintelligible to the personnel that

have physical access. • Faulty drives and hardware are demagnetized and destroyed.

Logical security

• Lock box processes for strictly supervised escalation process greatly limits human access to your data.

• Servers run only processes on whitelist, minimizing risk from malicious code. • Dedicated threat management teams proactively anticipate, prevent, and mitigate malicious

access. • Port scanning, perimeter vulnerability scanning, and intrusion detection prevent or detect any

malicious access. Data security

• Encryption at rest protects your data on our servers. • Encryption in transit with SSL/TLS protects your data transmitted between you and Microsoft. • Threat management, security monitoring, and file/data integrity prevents or detects any

tampering of data.

Admin and user controls

• Rights Management Services prevents file-level access without the right user credentials. • Multi-factor authentication protects access to the service with a second factor such as phone. • S/MIME provides secure certificate-based email access. • Office 365 Message Encryption allows you to send encrypted email to anyone. • Data loss prevention prevents sensitive data from leaking either inside or outside the

organization. • Data loss prevention can be combined with Rights Management and Office 365 Message

Encryption to give greater controls to your admins to apply appropriate policies to protect sensitive data.

12


APPENDIX: Office 365 Trust Center PRIVACY BY DESIGN

When you entrust your data to Office 365 you remain the sole owner of the data: you retain the rights, title, and interest in the data you store in Office 365. It’s our policy to not mine your data for advertising purposes or use your data except for purposes consistent with providing you cloud productivity services.

Data ownership and what it means

• You are the owner of the data; Microsoft is the custodian or the processor of your data. • It’s your data, so if you ever choose to leave the service, you can take your data with you. • We do not mine your data for advertising purposes.

Our role as data processor

• We only use your data for purposes consistent with providing you services you pay us for.

• We regularly disclose the number of law enforcement requests we receive through our transparency reports.

• If a government approaches us for access to customer data, we redirect the inquiry to you, the customer, whenever possible and have and will challenge in court any invalid legal demand that prohibits disclosure of a government request for customer data.

Privacy controls

• Privacy controls allow you to configure who in your organization has access and what they can access.

• Design elements prevent mingling of your data with that of other organizations using Office 365.

• Extensive auditing and supervision prevent admins to get unauthorized access to your data.

13


APPENDIX: Office 365 Trust Center CONTINUOUS COMPLIANCE

Office 365 is a global service and continuous compliance refers to our commitment to evolve the Office 365 controls and stay up to date with standards and regulations that apply to your industry and geography. Because regulations often share the same or similar controls, this makes it easier for Microsoft to meet the requirements of new regulations or those specific to your organization and industry. In addition, Office 365 provides admin and user controls, including eDiscovery, legal hold, and data loss prevention, to help you meet internal compliance requirements. These require no additional on-premises infrastructure to use.

Independent verification

• Our service is verified to meet requirements specified in ISO 27001, EU model clauses, HIPAA BAA, and FISMA.

• Our data processing agreement details privacy, security, and handling of customer data, which helps you comply with local regulations.

Proactive approach to regulatory compliance

• We have built over 900 controls in the Office 365 compliance framework that enable us to stay up to date with the ever-evolving industry standards.

• A specialist compliance team is continuously tracking standards and regulations, developing common control sets for our product team to build into the service.

Customer controls for organizational compliance

• Legal hold and eDiscovery built into the service help you find, preserve, analyze, and package electronic content (often referred to as electronically stored information or ESI) for a legal request or investigation. Privacy controls allow you to configure who in your organization has access and what they can access.

• Data loss prevention in Office 365 helps you identify, monitor, and protect sensitive information in your organization through deep content analysis.

APPENDIX: Office 365 Trust Center

TRANSPARENT OPERATIONS

Moving to a cloud service shouldn’t mean losing access to knowing what’s going on. With Office 365, it doesn’t. We aim to be transparent in our operations so you can monitor the state of your service, track issues, and have historical view of availability. Data location and access

• We maintain multiple copies of your data, across datacenters, for redundancy and will share with you where your data is located.

• We tell you who has access to your data and under what circumstances.

Support with a human face

• You have on-call 24/7 phone support for critical issues.

• We have DevOps processes, which means 24/7 escalation to the actual development team to resolve issues that cannot be resolved by operations alone.

We’re accountable to you

• We conduct a thorough review of all service incidents, regardless of magnitude of impact and we share the analysis if your organization is affected.

• We commit to delivering at least 99.9% up-time with a financially-backed guarantee.
