Cloud Services – Beyond Email

Get Started

Email is perhaps the obvious service you think of in cloud-based services, but there is much more available to you. Both Google and Microsoft have web-based collaboration facilities, both have chat services, and a variety of other tools and services. This page lists the major services - and you are welcome to use either or both cloud providers for these services. The only area where you need to make a specific choice is to select your email provider.
