Read onitgroove’s Cloud Position Statement
I asked Uncle Rob to clearly articulate our Cloud Position Statement. We felt it was important to clarify once again that while we are “Cloud Friendly and Office 365 Ready”, we don’t push the cloud (or warrant it for that matter – the SLA of Office 365 is direct with Microsoft).

Read onYay, Clutter is here…
Ok, never thought I’d say that. Clutter (perhaps there was a better word for it, I personally always had a “Noise” folder with rules assigned in my Outlook for stuff that didn’t matter and occassionally got housecleaned – but not to say “Noise” was any better) is here, for Office 365/Exchange Online, Outlook Web Access …
