Intermedia Adds Office Apps to Robust IT Services Suite

Intermedia, a one-stop shop for cloud IT services, announced today that it is reselling Microsoft Office 365™ under the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program. Intermedia Office Apps is now immediately available from Intermedia as a standalone service or as an integrated part of Intermedia’s Office in the Cloud™ suite.

Now partners and customers can integrate their business productivity software alongside the other essential IT services Intermedia offers, including email, file backup and sharing, identity and access management, mobility, security, archiving, and others.

“With this expansion, Intermedia is integrating additional productivity benefits within our comprehensive suite of more than 20 essential cloud services,” said Michael Gold, CEO at Intermedia. “Our channel and direct customers get the Microsoft business applications they need along with the advanced data protection and security services that Intermedia offers.”

As with all Intermedia services, Office Apps includes just one bill, one control panel, and comes backed by Intermedia’s Worry-Free Experience™, which includes 24/7 support with typical hold times of less than 60 seconds.

Intermedia Office Apps offers desktop, online and mobile access to the latest versions of popular Microsoft business applications such as Outlook®, Word, Excel®, PowerPoint® and more. It includes five desktop application subscriptions for PC or Mac®; web versions of Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint; and mobile versions of Microsoft® Office products for iPad®, iPhone®, Windows Phone® and Android™. The versions are always up-to-date for the latest in features, security and compatibility, while eliminating future licensing and deployment headaches.

For partners, Intermedia offers direct provisioning, management and expert support of Microsoft cloud offerings. Like all Intermedia services, Office Apps are integrated into Intermedia’s Partner Portal. Partners can sell Office Apps as a stand-alone offering, at a discounted rate when bundled with most Intermedia Office in the Cloud plans, or free with Intermedia’s Everything Plan.

Intermedia is offering Office Apps as part of the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program. “To meet the growing demands of our cloud-based solutions, we’re thrilled to expand the capabilities for cloud partners under the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program,” said Phil Sorgen, Corporate Vice President of the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corporation. “By joining the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program, partners will deepen customer relationships and expand business opportunities in the cloud.”

Backed by Intermedia’s Worry-Free Experience™

Like all Office in the Cloud services, Intermedia Office Apps doesn’t just make users more productive – it also gives administrators the freedom to focus on the success of their business. Intermedia’s Worry-Free Experience includes free onboarding assistance, and 24/7 expert support from Microsoft certified technicians, with typical hold times of less than 60 seconds. Management is performed through Intermedia’s proprietary HostPilot® control panel – the same integrated console used to manage Intermedia’s other Office in the Cloud solutions.

“As a satisfied customer of Intermedia’s Hosted Exchange, making the move to Office Apps was an easy decision for us,” said David Rivers, IT Manager at Purolite. “It enabled us to standardise our users, helping to ensure everyone was using the latest version of Office. With Intermedia, adding and managing new products is easy. We have peace of mind knowing that our products are backed by their worry-free support.” For more information, visit www.Intermedia.co.uk
