Microsoft Office 365

Variable payment options give you the freedom to pay only for the software you need.

For small and mid-sized businesses, the Microsoft Office productivity suite is a staple in the software cupboard. Consider how much you have paid for each software license. How would you feel about spending a fraction of the cost for the entire Microsoft Office productivity suite, and with it, get some of the most revolutionary collaboration tools available?

Oxon Tech is proud to offer the Microsoft Office 365 cloud-based productivity suite to small and mid-sized businesses in the Oxfordshire area. Per-user monthly billing, rather than the traditional per-machine rate, significantly reduces the amount your organisation has to spend to get the same productivity suite that you are used to.

Access your Microsoft Office applications anywhere

View and share files with everyone on your team from anywhere, on any device.

Microsoft Office 365 enables users to access documents from anywhere on a multitude of devices, like smartphones, tablets, and more. Do you have a PC at work with Windows 7 or 8 and need to do some work from home? Microsoft Office 365 is available wherever there is an Internet connection. At the office, at home, or on the move, Microsoft Office 365 offers world-class collaboration anywhere, at any time.

Every Office app is now on the cloud

Your favourite Microsoft Office Apps are available in the cloud.

The Microsoft Office productivity Suite features Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, OneNote, a team SharePoint site, as well as an online meeting place with HD video and screen sharing. Everything about Office 365 has been redesigned to provide elite usability, with quicker load times to improve workflow. By taking advantage of the cloud, the work you do on all of these applications is automatically saved and backed up, which provides you with peace of mind.

Benefit from real-time collaboration

The cloud lets all team members comment and share projects to improve communication.

All entities of your business can benefit from adding cloud-based productivity features by Microsoft. Since team members can share, collaborate, and communicate on projects using cloud technology, they will see additional benefits from being able to work in the same project. Microsoft makes this possible thanks to an integration with Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, and Lync, which give you powerful communication options to go with the comprehensive productivity suite.

Microsoft’s cloud solution is a secure way to store your files. Microsoft’s Office servers have a 99.9% uptime, and when you store your files on Microsoft’s secure cloud infrastructure, you are saving the expense of having to maintain your own.

Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is widely used as a powerful business collaboration platform for many of the world’s most successful organisations. It provides a dynamic, cost-effective solution for organisations that are looking to add robust collaborative capabilities to their workflow. At Oxon Tech, we can help you increase productivity by creating and deploying solutions that help organisations take advantage of their IT resources. If your organisation is searching for a way to align your business’ technological tools with its operational workflow, look no further than our professional SharePoint deployment services.

Empower your staff

Provide your people with all the information they need by implementing a dedicated SharePoint platform.

With SharePoint, users can create a customised collaboration environment to best serve their needs. SharePoint makes sharing, managing, and finding documents easier, and its integration into your IT infrastructure can provide your organisation with the means to immediately see the benefits of an integrated document management system, including:

A central shared platform for storing documents and files that improves efficiency and organisation.
Clear and concise indexing to allow users to find things faster.
An integrated continuity protection system to ensure there is communication between users so works are not overwritten.
A complete revision history that provides roll-back capabilities.

With these options, your workflow will be more organised, and cooperation between users and departments will be frequent and easier to depend on, setting the stage for successful fulfilment of important projects that will drive your business forward.

Mobility and flexibility

SharePoint provides businesses with a great project management interface that allows employees to not be tethered to the office.

With many of today’s businesses searching for options to increase the productivity of their team, adding mobility has become a priority. With the ability to do more from more places, your employees can take advantage of this additional agility to securely access tasks and files from anywhere. The dynamic capabilities of the SharePoint interface give organisations a powerful platform for cooperation between integral resources on a project. By integrating a SharePoint interface, your staff can collaborate on a project without being on the same network, using a central repository and communication tools to work in integrated applications together.

With some development, your SharePoint can integrate with your most important applications, including your CRM software; in essence, adding a full-scale document management system to your centralised business administration. These integrations can go a long way toward giving your staff the dynamic tools they need to find success.

We are your SharePoint experts.

Implementation, Migration, and Ongoing Support through Oxon Tech

Implementing a SharePoint solution is a pretty detailed process with many options to choose from. Typically, the implementing faction will need to have multiple servers available to successfully implement a SharePoint solution. If an organisation were to do this in a traditional fashion, it could get very expensive and need a litany of support to ensure the interface works as designed.

At Oxon Tech we understand that your business doesn’t always have the capital to invest in physical hardware and the support to keep it running. We offer virtualised computing environments, virtualisation services, and fully hosted SharePoint solutions to give your organisation the options it’s looking for in a centralised collaboration interface. Our professional technicians can assess your organisation’s IT and fit a SharePoint interface to your standards, whether you want to manage the platform yourself or have it managed for you.

If you are looking for a powerful collaborative interface like SharePoint, at a price to fit your budget, call the technology professionals at Oxon Tech today at 01865 594100.

CRM Sales Process (Customer Relationship Management)

Manage your current and future customers with a comprehensive customer relationship management solution.

As a business owner, you have a lot of responsibility. You need to consider many variables just to keep your organisation productive and profitable. Your employees are behind the scenes working to make your brand the best it can be. Just as important as you and your employees is the customer, who possesses the fuel that runs your business. Finding a solution to integrate all three variables in one easy-to-manage interface can really be beneficial for your growing company.

It is important for a company’s sales team to be on the same page with all other departments as well as with their client base. After all, selling products and services is a detail-oriented task. By instituting a reliable CRM solution from Oxon Tech, your sales team will be able to have remote and mobile access to all the information they need to close a sale on the go. This presents substantial benefits for companies that have had some of their leads stall before their sales team could get a chance to make it work.

Being a salesman is difficult enough without a half-dozen extra steps. A dedicated CRM will provide your organisation’s sales reps with an interface where they can track all the sales and customer information. With a CRM, your company can store many kinds of data in the cloud, including:

• Contact information
• Accounts
• Sales opportunities and leads
• Analytics and sales successes

This data can be extremely useful in creating successful customer relationships and boosting operational efficiency.

CRM integration will enhance your service

An interface for your employees to use to help them provide the superior customer service that your clients appreciate is key for any service-based enterprise.

While providing an outlet to assist in the customer service aspect of your business, a dedicated CRM also provides opportunities to up-sell and cross-sell more effectively. This presents new streams of revenue to your business that are difficult to manifest without the CRM solution. To provide your team with the best chance to retain customers and keep your business moving in the right direction, incorporating a Customer Relationship Management software is a viable option. With a CRM solution from Oxon Tech, you can realise the benefits that a dedicated CRM can grant an organisation by presenting options to track and manage clients’ accounts succinctly.

Benefits of a comprehensive CRM

A CRM software solution provides additional benefits to office administrators that are looking for a way to get everyone on the same page.

At Oxon Tech, we deal in efficiency. Our full-featured CRM also presents enterprises with these great benefits:

Document Management

Catalogue your organisation’s essential files.

Does your organisation have file cabinets taking up half of your office? You wouldn’t keep all those files unless they were important. Oxon Tech has a solution to handle your company’s information. We offer a comprehensive document management solution as a repository to help you streamline your business and improve the speed of productivity.

The experienced technicians at Oxon Tech know the same solution doesn’t work for everyone. To get the best file dispersal available, our technicians will work hand-in-hand with you to tailor a solution that will meet your organisational needs.

A solution to drive business forward

Utilising Oxon Tech‘s Document Management expertise boosts productivity.

A Document Management System (DMS), sometimes utilised as an integral component in an overall Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system, is a dedicated file system where companies can manage all the vital information their organisations use to plan, run, and maintain continuity to help boost productivity. The DMS provides companies a free-flowing, collaborative outlet to manage all the information that is important if you want to add fluidity to your database. Our solution integrates with many of today’s top database solutions to give you and your staff a user experience that will save everyone time.

You know that you’ll go to great lengths to protect your data against threats from outside of your network, but occasionally the safety of your data is at risk from inside your network. As any company that works with a plethora of files will inevitably find out, files get moved around, changed, and lost entirely. An organised file structure saves end-users time, and significantly alleviates the hassle that comes along with digging through your network storage to find the version of the file you are after.

The cooperation options a properly-structured DMS present allow archiving and version retrieval. Collaboration options such as these present members of a team additional means to obtain access, as well as options to edit and save files. Since these files are redundantly cached, you know the version you are working on is the right version, every time.

Embrace a greener workplace

Go green by cutting down on the amount of paper that your organisation uses.

It may be impossible to create a completely paperless office, but with many companies pushing forward with the integration of mobile devices into their workflow, there are opportunities for companies to decrease their carbon footprint. Steady growth means more documents, and having digital copies of physical documents in their DMS allow organisations additional options to manage all of their company’s information in one place.

For more information about how a properly managed Document Management System can benefit your organisation, or if you would like to talk to someone about other of Oxon Tech‘s IT services, call us today at 01865 594100.

Identity Management

With Oxon Tech‘s Identity Management solution, you’ll add a powerful and affordable method to manage user access.

Maintaining data security is crucial for any company. As a small business owner, it becomes the kind of issue that, if compromised, may just be enough to hinder your organisation’s ability to run smoothly and put in jeopardy all you’ve worked so hard for. At Oxon Tech, we are known for providing small and mid-sized businesses useful solutions that remove the boundaries that often hold these organisations back from realising revenue-boosting operational efficiency.

Often organisations will demand that each employee be given one username in which to sign into the network, but what happens when you have information that you don’t want certain employees or users to access? What if you have a platform which requires a certain aptitude? Under these circumstances you don’t want to allow just anyone access. Our Identity Management solution allows you to assign authorisations, keeping everyone in your organisation under the security clearance the need to do the job they are assigned properly.

Not just profiles, identities

Oxon Tech‘s Identity Management solution provides administrators with all the tools they need to keep their environments safe.

Our Identity Management solution is designed to give company administrators the ability to control access to sensitive business data with the creation and management of user identities. By setting up a virtual profile for each user, a vessel has been created to manage all of your user’s identities. Populating it with credentials and authorisations allows your company to best manage who can access what from where.

By adhering to industry best practices and using our Identity Management solution, your business’ administrators can properly manage:

• Verification – Authentication using passcodes, biometrics, or behaviours.
• Authorisation – Determining what part of a particular platform the individual identity profile has access to.
• Groups of Operation – Assign roles to certain individuals that others in your organisation may have access to, but are not responsible for.
• Delegation – Allows local administrators to change options that only the global administrator normally has access to.

Our Identity Management solution provides its value by keeping all forms of data open to the people who need it and closed to those who don’t. The solution can allow or deny access to people looking to gain admittance to your facility, or even parts of your facility.

Save money with identity management

Experience higher degrees of productivity with our Identity Management solution.

Every business owner is looking for a way to save money. Oxon Tech has several solutions that are aimed at boosting your company’s productivity. Outfitting your company with our Identity Management solution provides you with superior productivity by cutting down on redundancies and promoting your mobile computing platforms; a function many businesses are trying to incorporate. After all, the more places your employees can do work, the more places they will do work.

At Oxon Tech, we are proud to offer services that bring value to our clients. For more information about our Identity Management solution or our comprehensive Managed IT Services call us at 01865 594100.

Intranet Solutions

Improve inter-office communications and productivity.

Larger enterprises employ a large workforce, and as a result, their internal network can get cluttered pretty quickly. This makes finding specific files somewhat challenging. Unlike the larger corporation, your small or medium-sized business might not have trouble communicating within the office. However, it’s still important to optimise all aspects of your business’ infrastructure, and to this end, an intranet solution is ideal.

So, what is an intranet? You can think of it in terms of a central location where all of your employees are able to exchange ideas, documents, and other collaborative information. An intranet allows your business to function at maximum capacity by providing your team with a common avenue for all information they might need to do their job properly. In other words, an intranet is a tool to improve communication, productivity, and collaboration in the office environment.

What features are essential?

Ensure you get the most out of your intranet solution.

There are a ton of intranet solutions available, but you should consider the needs of your business before committing to one solution. The ideal intranet solution should be one which optimises the way your team communicates and provides collaboration tools that allow them to work together, be it in-house or out and about. Here are some examples of what a quality intranet solution should offer:

• Instant-messaging and email capabilities.
• File-sharing.
• Employee directories.

Instant messaging and email capabilities

Communicate with the click of a button.

With instant-messaging integration into your company intranet, your team can have immediate access to whoever they need to contact. This can save time when all they need is a quick answer to an issue, but it isn’t ideal for longer conversations that are directed at the entirety of your staff. This is where email solutions are useful. You can send out mass emails to your staff with corporate announcements, and keep in touch with your points-of-contact from other businesses through a professional medium.

Document sharing and editing

Collaboration across multiple platforms.

Without a doubt, your team needs fast and efficient access to company documents in order for them to successfully perform their day-to-day duties. Therefore, an intranet should make document sharing and collaboration one of its highest priorities. Ideally, users should be able to edit and discuss the documents through the intranet solution as well, which can give your workers more flexibility. A cloud-based intranet is a great option if your organisation is searching for this kind of solution.

Dedicated employee schedules and directories

Schedule and manage your staff members.

One benefit an intranet allows businesses is that it makes managing resources and assets far easier. A good intranet solution should be able to help you see who (and what) is available, and when. Scheduling tasks is far easier when you know who has time to perform them, and it can streamline operations by helping your team get the most done during their workday.

Oxon Tech’s intranet solution offers these powerful integrations and more, all through a simple, easy-to-use interface. If you’re looking to take advantage of an employee intranet, our managed IT solutions can help you streamline your business’ operations and get you ahead of the competition. Give us a call at 01865 594100 to learn more.

Business Intelligence Strategies

Make more informed business decisions.

You may think you know your business’ operations like the back of your hand, but wouldn’t it be advantageous to be sure? With Oxon Tech’s Business Intelligence strategies, your organisation can leverage our team of IT professionals to design and build a comprehensive business intelligence platform to completely change the way you look at your business.

Small businesses have limited resources, so efficiency is crucial. Regardless of the industry you work in, getting the most out of your decisions and resources makes your business better. With BI strategic consulting from Oxon Tech, you can get more out of your business, by getting the truth about it. Our experts understand how business, technology, and data are evolving and can help you construct a powerful BI strategy.

What is business intelligence?

Descriptive analysis of your entire business.

Business Intelligence (BI) is the strategy of collecting and analysing data. In doing so, you create actionable intelligence that you can then use to form strategic business decisions. This happens through your business’ data. All of your business’ different functions can be represented through data, and with the use of innovative software, those numbers can provide you with a breadth of information that you have never considered. A comprehensive BI strategy could pay for itself very quickly by exposing an anomaly or inefficiency that could save you vital capital.

BI promotes project efficiency

Successful strategic decisions will change your business.

BI can help with your entire business, from concept to marketing to billing. One of the most important roles a comprehensive BI will have is in project selection. Since you will get information that you may not have, you can tailor new investments to the needs of your business. This helps control capital investment, saving your organisation money, and enhancing the success rate of major and minor business initiatives, alike.

Oxon Tech can help!

Grow your business with our experienced IT professionals on your side.

Business owners often have preconceived notions about how their business operates. With a BI strategy, you put those notions to the test. The IT professionals at Oxon Tech can provide you with all the resources you need to make your business the best it can be. Our technicians offer years of experience in the design, deployment, and support of IT systems, and can structure your business’ data in a way that makes implementing a BI possible.

BI isn’t just a technology initiative, but since it relies so heavily on IT, the expert technicians at Oxon Tech are properly leveraged to provide the technical expertise companies that seek greater efficiency need, while being able to present options to more effectively implement a BI system that both is cost-productive, and will provide you with the best opportunity to improve your business.

If you are searching for a way to utilize the data your organisation collects and leverage it into a more efficient and effective business; or if you are interested in learning more about BI strategies, give the IT professionals at Oxon Tech a call today at 01865 594100.
