Superior Software & Support for Total Project Success

Posted by Pete Caldecourt, Director of Technology Assistance


Over the years, here at Binary Tree, we’ve learned many things. Most importantly, we’ve learned that in order to be successful and grow globally, we need to continue to develop and deliver leading email migration and application migration software products to our partners and customers. The software products that we develop and sell are essential to our growth and evolution as a key player in the migration marketplace. But, our success and growth aren’t just about the products we sell; it’s also about providing our partners and customers with an incomparable and exceptional customer support experience to help ensure that they have positive experiences with our products and their projects are ultimately successful.

With this philosophy in mind and as we continue expanding globally, it became essential for us to expand our Technical Services and Customer Support efforts into what we now call Binary Tree’s Technical Assistance Group, or “TAG Team”. The TAG Team excels greatly at many things, but one thing is most importantensuring that our partners and customers have the best and most successful migration experiences possible from beginning to end.

So what is TAG? Here are some highlights …

Imagine a group of technical experts assigned specifically to your migration project who will assist you not only after you purchase the migration software, but will also be by your side during the evaluation phase of your project. Binary Tree’s TAG Team is available to ensure that our customers have the product knowledge needed to build business and buying cases internally, and to ultimately make an informed decision.
Binary Tree TAG Team
If requested or needed, the Binary Tree TAG Team provides our customers with pilot environments to help them get familiar with the software and the process, and to also assist with the delivery and execution with full knowledge transfers from beginning to end.
 
Even when the TAG Team leaves a customer site, they’re still available to provide assistance to ensure that your project is a complete success. With 24x7x365 global customer support, our TAG Team is available and ready to assist you via email, online web form, phone, and through our website chat client. Customers also have premier access to Binary Tree’s Online Knowledge Databases where they’ll find technical and how-to articles for our software.

Water Cooler "Cloud Chat" with Walter Monasterio
Posted by Walter Monasterio, Microsoft Corporate & Regional SI Alliance Manager

 
In my day to day, I have a lot of conversations/debates around cloud application platforms and the services they offer for different workloads. The conversation topics are usually around application features, security, development, interoperability, and management. In terms of business productivity, Google is mentioned, Salesforce.com for CRM, and perhaps Google or Amazon for cloud application development. It seems to me that the mix and match of on-premises and cloud solutions, compounded with multiple cloud services, somewhat dilutes the value proposition that these solutions offer. Among the value propositions, presented are simplicity, ease of use, cost savings, and end user satisfaction. As far as I can see, Microsoft is the only provider that can deliver on these value propositions in a mixed application and location environment.  
 
If I were an enterprise looking to move to the cloud to try and “do more with less” (yes …I said it), I would start my ROI/TCO homework by taking a look at what we have, examining my on-premises and cloud options, the cost to get there, and evaluate my in-house and partner IT skills. Then, I would like to see an example of my end state infrastructure (POC?) working together so I understand what my end users and subsequently, help desk, could expect.  In a non-Microsoft scenario that would seem to involve negotiating with multiple vendors to get the individual products up and running, identifying and deploying viable and supported interoperability solutions, or find a partner to do this on your behalf. I suspect partners would find this equally as challenging and costly. Cloud Migration
 
Microsoft tries to simplify this challenge by offering Exchange on-premises and Exchange online for email; SharePoint on-premises and online for Collaboration, Portals, Development, ECM, Search, Wiki’s, and Blogs; Dynamics for CRM online; and Azure for hosted infrastructure, application development, and management. In addition to the applications themselves, they offer an array of resources, events, and partners that will let you come in and experience your future state.
