Business scenarios
Organizations around the world come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Many are not prepared to fully move to the cloud yet or have various reasons to retain on-premises infrastructure.
Businesses that are looking to move to Office 365, they may be doing so for a variety of reasons.
Ageing servers
IT is generally relegated to business support and rarely seen as a revenue generator, with small businesses holding on to their servers as long as possible. As such they are usually reluctant to spend a portion of their capital to fund another depreciating asset. For this reason, Office 365 becomes an attractive option as there is no capital outlay to start using the service.
