Proving that it is not just small to medium sized businesses that can benefit from a cloud solution, Realestate.com.au has moved their corporate email to Telstra T Suite hosted email.
You can't help but enjoy the irony: "Real Estate" refers to something tangible, physical property that you can touch and feel. Yet the parent company, REA Group has moved infrastructure to the cloud.
According to the Chief Information Officer, Daniel Oertli, moving REA's real estate and property portal to Microsoft Exchange online to replace their outdated corporate email system made perfect sense, with offices in Australia, Italy, Luxembourg and Hong Kong, and over 750 staff. He concluded that this was:
"..consistent with REA's strategy to focus capital and mindshare on competitive edge and more efficiently manage business"In the usual CIO-speak that we have come to know and love, this simply reinforces what I have been saying here - that Microsoft Online Services can save business money and time which can then be redirected to core business activities.
