When it comes to disaster response, concepts like "collaboration" and "efficiency" are more than corporate buzzwords-they can be matters of life and death.  Fast and reliable communications mean more help for those who need it most in the wake of hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, fire or other calamities.  That's why we're thrilled the Danish Red Cross has deployed Office 365 as centerpiece of its initiative to prepare for and respond to disasters even faster.

The Danish Red Cross' CIO, Claus Olsen, puts it this way: "For us, response time is everything. If we can't communicate, we can't respond.  With Office 365, we can share and act on information in just seconds - at half the cost of our previous solution."

As part of the world's largest humanitarian organization, the Danish Red Cross is a non-profit.  They greatly appreciate Office 365's predictable monthly cost.  Most importantly, their switch from on-premises software to the cloud means money saved on IT can be applied to disaster aid, instead.

It will be fascinating to see how the Danish Red Cross benefits from using Office 365 over time and how these lessons could help similar organizations around the world. Read the full story here and watch the video below.
