Setup was simple and within 10 mins the phone was fully operational with office 365. This really is a strong point of office 365, once you have setup email which only requires your email address and password all other products automatically synchronised. I could access all my contacts and emails and had full access to our company sharepoint site

Next test Microsoft Lync!!

Gary found himself in sunny Spain to find a number of hotel guests complaining that they could not collect their emails.

Always one to shout about office 365 Gary went to work to demonstrate the capabilities and reliability of office 365, only to find that he also could not connect. To save face TQ support instinct kicked in. He checked in with the hotel reception who confirmed that internet was fine which was true he could also connect in the hotel reception. Gary then returned to the floor where the guest rooms were located and located the network cable coming up from the lower floor, he then traced the cable along the corridor looking for a wireless router to find that the bracket for the router was there but no router!! This was quickly replaced by the hotel and everyone was back online.

Back to the pool!!!

Cables but no Router!!!

As you can see from the photos the TQ team worked hard throughout the weekend.

Our Kent and Northern Ireland office remain unchanged making sure our Cloud coverage remains nationwide.

Office taking shape

Which box next!!

Waqas found a new skill!!!!

Not to be out done Chris takes to the hoover!

Alex never too far from the Kitchen!!!

He stayed at a remote hotel located in the middle of nowhere, fields and hills galore!!

As all TQ team members do (kind of an inner team challenge )he first tested the Office 365 capabilities to see if he could work in the middle of nowhere, and found that he was fully operational.

Moving back to the whole point of a few days away, he visited the historic town of Glastonbury, which has been described as a New Age community which attracts people with New Age and Neopagan beliefs, and is notable for myths and legends. Ideal for relaxation and time to unwind!!

Gary soon found that people were attracted to his TechQuarters rucksack, or more to the point the TQ Logo.It seemed that the logo resembled similar signs which connected in some way to Mother Nature and associated beliefs.

Gary came back refreshed and relaxed knowing that he made a connection to the cloud and Mother Nature in a totally modern way. Green Technology is the way forward!!!

With expert, friendly advice from the team and of course free sweets the TechQuarters stand proved popular throughout the day.

As you can see he is a happy man, this could be down to the quality of our service or the product itself or our Tea making abilities.

We hope it’s all of the above!!
