Five Things Every CIO Should Know About the Cloud and Office 365 By Chris Pyle, President and CEO, Champion Solutions Group

As you probably know, Office 365 will be launching soon. The unofficial word on the street is that the launch will be sometime in the month of June.  Recently, I came across a blog post by Andrew Kisslo, Group Manager, on the Microsoft Office 365 team titled "Five Things Every CIO Should Know About the Cloud and Office 365."  It's short, sweet, and to the point.  If you are a CIO or report to one,this is a must read.   

Here's a little piece of the blog:

With the recent release of the Microsoft Office 365  public beta, I’ve been getting a lot of questions from C-suite executives about the benefits of Microsoft’s web-enabled business productivity solution. What should I know about it? And how does it compare to competitive solutions? While there are many important benefits about the cloud and Office 365, here are five things every CIO should know:

1. The cloud can reduce costs.
2. Microsoft delivers the cloud on your terms.
3. Office 365 can democratize IT.
4. Office 365 is familiar and secure across the PC, phone or browser.
5. Microsoft delivers enterprise-level support.
