Design studio finds room to grow with Office 365

Office 365 customer Atominx, a design services firm in the U.K., was founded by Myles Kaye in 2009. Kaye initially adopted the basic Google Mail cloud-based messaging service to support email communication. But as Atominx hired more people, developed new offerings, and served more customers, Google did not keep pace with the company's collaboration needs and business goals. Additionally, Kaye began to worry about the impression Atominx might be creating with customers when his staff communicated from and used disparate mix of free solutions.

 "We worked from too many IDs in too many different places. I realized that we were outgrowing Google and that we also needed to develop a single communication domain and a more professional identity," said Kaye.

Knowing that a change was necessary, Kaye began evaluating several on-premises and cloud-based solutions. When he discovered Microsoft Office 365, a subscription-based offering which includes Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Lync Online, and Microsoft Office Web Apps, he signed up for the trial.

"We were already using Microsoft Office 2010, so we had a lot of trust with Microsoft, and Office 365 offered all the features we needed," says Kaye. "As soon as I started to use Office 365, I could tell it was a solid, complete solution. Everything worked so easily together, on my PC and my mobile devices."

In December 2011 Atominx adopted Office 365 subscriptions for all its employees and designers. "By using Office 365, we are working with a common set of tools, so we can all send, open, and work together on documents, presentations or spreadsheets," Kaye said.
