Cyprus's appeal and perhaps its saving grace is that is an international hub for monetary transactions. The island has always generated a lot of jobs in this specific field, especially accountants. Keeping on top of the accounting profession is the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus (ICPAC), being the only body in Cyprus that can regulate and supervise the accountancy profession. Effectively dealing with the challenges presented to them is of course not an easy thing to do. While technology rapidly progresses, so must the companies who have a heavy workload and need to be able to stay updated constantly and have the luxury of flexible working conditions.
Faced with the need to make a leap onto what technology has to offer, the ICPAC asked ZEBRA to come up with a solution to make their lives easier.
To deal with the problem at hand, ZEBRA implemented a cloud-based solution in the form of the Microsoft Office 365, giving ICPAC employees the freedom to access their work anywhere and share with each other anything project related. The Microsoft Office 365 cuts back on work hours wasting by making sure that everyone can access and complete their tasks efficiently and effectively. Microsoft Office 365 also provides video conferencing and screen sharing capabilities with the use of Lync, speeding even more the progress to the company goal. This cloud based solution also cuts back on IT costs, as automatic updates ensure that you always have the latest version, without interrupting work.
The solution provided by ZEBRA also lets the client manage services from a web-based admin center, where you can add or delete users in seconds, manage email policies, and set access rules.
With Office powered by the cloud, the client has the latest Microsoft Office applications, files are always up to date, and recent documents are up front, so employees can get right to work. Using SharePoint online the users can now access their documents at anytime from anywhere using any device.
Microsoft Office 365 also helps to safeguard data with enterprise-grade reliability, disaster recovery capabilities, data centers in multiple locations, and a strict privacy policy. It also helps to protect your email environment with up-to date antivirus and anti-spam solutions.
Anticipating the problem a wide variety of mobile devices (tablets, different brand of smartphones) would present, ZEBRA successfully configured user email accounts created on Exchange online with all mobile devices and tablets including BlackBerry phones.
