Project Brief
Create a system that provides Beisance’s employees with access to emails on-the-go [mobile], incorporating elements of hosted enterprise email systems but excluding Microsoft Exchange/Lotus exchange.
Project Execution
Our goal was to use Google Apps For Domains as the base email platform. This platform is a hosted solution from Google not dissimilar from Microsoft Exchange. Given it’s hosted "Cloud" nature it was a better proposition from the stand-point of ease of administration. We provisioned Beisance on Google Apps For Domain [domain name acquisition, domain hosting acquisition and provisioning, Total DNS/MX records updating] and then provisioned the company’s BlackBerry Phones to work with the domain over a Carrier’s [MTN's] BlackBerry Internet Service [BIS] network.
As part of this job we also provisioned custom URLS for additional services on offer from the Google Apps For Domain platform such as Email, Calendaring, Sites [similar to Microsoft's SharePoint concept] & Hosted Docs [Documents] via the updating Beisance’s DNS/MX/CNAME Records.
This overall approach met our requirements while also allowing for a secure platform second to none. Our employees are now just as connected and efficient on the move [while mobile] as they are when they are at Beisance’s Lagos HQ!
