Toole Design Group specializes in bicycle and
pedestrian transportation consulting. With many
small, regional offices located far from HQ and
rapid growth, their IT solution – based on Google
Apps and Linux – could not deliver the ease of
collaboration and reliability they needed.
With the help of District Computers, Toole
Design Group moved to a system based on
Office 365, Windows Server 2012 R2 and
Microsoft Azure.
The result: Specialists inside the company

Editor's Notes
Good morning/afternoon, I’m (your name) from (your company)
Today I’ll be talking about how technology can help you successfully run your business from anywhere.
What do we mean when we talk about business anywhere?
We’re referring to taking advantage of the ability to get work done anywhere and to work together easily. You don’t need to be confined to an office in order to complete your work, collaborate with your team, or hold effective meetings.
As a modern business, you have a unique set of needs to keep your team effective on the go, enable them to collaborate, and be able to keep your team, customers and partners connected with each other. These issues are about mobility, collaboration, and online conferencing.
These are a few of the comments we’ve been hearing from our small and midsize customers. Sound familiar?
Researchers are also seeing trends that have more SMBs supporting mobile workers.
What I’m going to talk about is how flexible, familiar and trusted services and technologies from Microsoft can help enable you to do business anywhere by getting your work done wherever you are and working together easily.
You can choose from a range of solutions that help employees and teams to get their work done anywhere, on devices they love.

There’s a Windows device that can handle the heat and pressure. Needing to monitor patients and record rounds in a hospital? There’s a sleek device with long-battery life that’s hygienic. And if you love design you can find an ultra-slim stylish device that will fit your taste.
2-in-1s for PC performance and tablet experience: No need to decide between a notebook or tablet. Windows 2-in-1s give you the power of a PC and the mobility of a tablet experience in one device.

In our networked world, file sharing isn’t restricted to inside the office. But inside or out, you control who sees and edits each file.

Office 365 helps protect your data without creating business roadblocks for your employees, partners and customer. You can keep everyone up to date and working together as a team.

Instant message a co-worker in Lync for a quick answer on a question.
Use your favorite device: Lync's communication and collaboration features are available on your Windows phone, Android phone, Android tablet, iPhone, or iPad device.
Easily access business applications from remote PCs and mobile devices
The explosion in mobile devices has made it easier than ever to work from anywhere. However, this also means that business data can be put at risk as these devices are all too often lost or stolen.
When you have business applications, like Microsoft Dynamics CRM for customer relationship management or HR, hosted at the main office, you can offer employees the flexibility to get to those apps from remote PCs and Windows phones and tablets, while keeping company data on the server. You can also enable access to business applications hosted in the cloud on Microsoft Azure.
Technology included in Windows Server 2012 R2, makes it easy to access apps from anywhere, while you can be confident that your sensitive data isn’t stored on a mobile device that could be lost or stolen. It’s safely stored on the server.
With a technology called “Virtual Desktop Infrastructure” or “VDI”, which is powered by Remote Desktop Services (RDS) in Windows Server 2012 R2, you can enable secure remote access to applications that reside within your network. So if your employees are working at home, at a remote office, or on the road—whether on a PC or mobile device—they can get to the important applications and data they need.
Businesses with Windows Server Remote Desktop Services (RDS) can provide remote access to applications hosted on Windows Azure. So you can use the same remote access platform for a consistent experience whether your applications are on-premises or in the cloud.
Microsoft has invested in making remote computing experience as similar to working on a “local” PC as possible. Innovative Windows Server technologies help improve remote performance for graphics-intensive applications such as video, and enable a more seamless experience by reducing the disruptions caused by disconnections.
Remote access functionality is built-in to Windows Server 2012 R2. With VMware, you would have to purchase vSphere 5.1 Essentials Plus, and then purchase add-ons with capabilities like this at an additional cost.
