Planning and Preparing for Windows Server 2003 End-of-LifePerficient, Inc.
Windows Server 2003 reaches “end-of-life” in mid-2015, and Microsoft will no longer provide patches or security updates for the operating system. Given the rate at which new security threats are introduced, it is extremely dangerous to run production services on a platform that has reached end of support.
If you are still running Windows Server 2003, you aren’t alone. For organizations considering a migration, now is the time to start a thorough analysis of each Windows Server 2003 system, including the native and third-party software workloads.
Experts from Perficient, AppZero and Cisco discussed the options and paths available when moving off Windows Server 2003, including:
-Virtualization Hyper-V on Cisco UCS
-Transitioning to a cloud model – private, public and hybrid
-What AppZero can do for your migrations
-Capabilities and benefits of Windows Server 2012
The most important thing is to get started now! Without proper analysis and migration planning, IT departments will find themselves lacking the time to move mission-critical applications to a supported operating system.

Scaling enterprise intranets in office 365Sam Marshall
Webinar with Sam Marshall of ClearBox, and Flemming Goldbach of Wizdom
5th April 2018, 2pm BST / 3pm CEST / 9am EDT
In this webinar we’ll take a broad look at what it means to scale up a simple intranet in Office 365 into something enterprise-wide. We’ll look at the implications for going from a legacy single site intranet to a geographic or business-unit multi-site approach, often involving multiple languages and regulations too.
We’ll then consider how to deepen your intranet by expanding it to frontline workers and external partners, concluding with a look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Office 365 feature set.
We’ll cover:
Reach: how to scale to a global organisation, considering languages, regulatory differences, geographically distributed permissions, performance etc.
Depth: adoption, and expanding to frontline workers and external collaborators
Features: providing the same benefits and features of your current intranet with your new ‘platform-as-a-service’ solution, considering the lack of control you have over the underlying platform
O365: what it does really well, where add-on products are needed and how to adapt it for scale and global performance.

BusinessProjects’ Core Value Proposition -- Common to all Segments
•Allows companies to gain control of their intranets in way that other Web-based
collaboration applications cannot.
•Allows individuals to controls their projects.
•Naturally extends the current method of external collaboration beyond e-mail
attachments.
•Fills the “groupware gap” as groupware applications move to knowledge management
and document management.
•Adds value to the research process with a targeted, project-specific portal.
•Is a service not software. While IT works on the immediate concerns of Y2K and the
integration of legacy and back end systems, internal and external collaboration can be
outsourced.
•Combines the Best of all Worlds, while competitors focus on being one of three things:
1) Project-centric, 2) Agent-centric or 3) Docu-centric
•Decreases proliferation of large email attachments.
•Helps to keep the review process “in synch.”
•Provides protected customer access areas to share and review documents.
•Posting to a Web site assures the latest version is reviewed.
•Common tasks and calendar increases organization of collaboration.
•Resource areas and targeted portals save time on doubled research and the distribution
of research.

more rapidly penetrate the market for the Company's

Need -- Research Identified Problems with Current Collaboration Methods
• Posting of edits and documents back into the Web collaboration area.
• Interface is not scalable in terms of number of documents and number of
collaborations.
• Significant amount of HTML conversion is occurring, because users often have
different content creation tools or versions that are out of synch.
• Web interface customization is limited and confusing.
• The primary Web-based collaboration environments are intranets and e-mail
attachments. Users want to extend personal control from-e-mail to Web-based
collaboration.
• Use of intranets and e-mail attachments indicate a level of dissatisfaction with client
server groupware implementations -- especially -- but not exclusively for cross-
organizational and cross-departmental collaboration.
• Today intranet and e-mail intensive, but efforts for extranets, hosted extranets, and
iVPNs are accelerating.
• Intranets are the most out-of-control of collaborative environments.

reliance is both antiquarian and practical.
• Collaborative Solutions are sought not so much for the actual routing of the manuscript, but
for project tracking of acquired manuscripts.
• Editors and Copy Editors like the "look and feel" of paper documents: don’t expect them to
disappear any time soon.
• Document Version Tracking and Archiving are key areas of pain in processing a book from
