Microsoft Cloud, through Office 365 or Microsoft 365 (Modern Workplace), offers you an effortless way to:

• share documents,
• collaborate in real-time with your colleagues, clients, and suppliers, and
• be POPI compliant.

Using our proven formula, we’ve helped many businesses transition to Microsoft Cloud. We have extensive experience with change management and the migration of companies with 5 to 1000 employees.

Make use of our free assessment to gain insight into:

• what the process will involve to get your data to Microsoft Cloud,
• which license each user needs, and
• what benefits you can expect once you’re using Office 365 or Microsoft 365.

We work at a pace you’re comfortable with, as we’re aware that, for some, change involving technology isn’t welcomed.

The implementation of Crimson Line’s Disaster Recovery
as a Service to mitigate your risk against:

• Power Cuts – expected or unexpected; 
• Buying Hardware under pressure after unexpected failure thereof; and
• A Secondary DR site that doesn’t have the same capabilities as your primary site. 

Crimson Line can provide you with 24/7 available DR that you only pay for when you need it. You can switch your DR on:

• Before or just as a power cut happens;
• After hardware has failed unexpectedly and you’re waiting for new parts or quotes; or 
• To test your DR preparedness 

Only pay for this extra set of hardware, that’s already set up to your specification, when it’s switched on. 

“By using Crimson Line’s DRaaS, we’ve improved our disaster preparedness while reducing DR-related work.”  Daniël de Kock, CIO, redPanda Software

Your company is already using Office or Microsoft 365. Included in the monthly subscription is an app called Microsoft Teams. You might even be using Teams already, but its use has been a process of organic discovery where you’ve managed to use some of the functions. Microsoft touts Teams as a productivity app. Crimson Line can help your company use it to your advantage over your competition to:

• martial you data to produce better understanding to find and keep customers happy;
• improve employee collaboration and satisfaction to reduce attrition rates; and
• easily identify repetitive manual tasks and automate them to increase the number of tasks you like doing and lessen the ones you don’t.

We do this by short, 30 minute training sessions via Teams. Sessions are curated by Crimson Line’s Microsoft certified instructors to suit the needs of each group.

“We thought we were heavy users of Teams, until we attended Crimson Line’s curated training sessions. It was astounding to see how many features we weren’t using and how we were using the app incorrectly.”  Gareth Hawkey, CEO, redPanda Software

On-prem PBX calling is tied to a desk phone with call forwarding from desk to cell phone or a new call to a cell phone incurring another cost. The rate of first-time answers to a desk phone is only good when the workforce is at their desks. But with no Microsoft Teams calling plans available in South Africa, what is your alternative? ​

Crimson Line, Linux PBX and MS Teams specialists, offers you a simplified communication system with unified calling, chat and meetings using Microsoft Teams. This 100% cloud-based subscription service connects office and remote employees to anyone with a phone number. ​

The impact of using Teams calling from Crimson Line means that:

• All your calls are received and made from one place;
• You can see in real-time the availability of all colleagues; and
• You’ll get total solution management from one provider, Crimson Line, including how to overcome that no Microsoft calling plans are available in South Africa.

Do you best work with simplified telephony in the cloud.

“All our communication is done through one platform. Our employees no longer give out their personal cell numbers for anyone to reach them and it negates the reconciliation of calling costs at month end completely.” ​Finance Manager at Law practice​

You could use the break-fix method at an ad hoc hourly rate for IT support but then the risk lies with you when a problem occurs. Traditional estimated hourly Service Level Agreements will give you a way to forecast your monthly IT support cost, but should your hours run out, the risk again lies with you.

Allow Crimson Line to manage all your devices at a monthly fee where it’s in both parties’ best interest to ensure your IT environment is healthy, optimized, and functional. This also allows us to be proactive in the management of your IT environment giving our Microsoft certified engineers the chance to be solution-givers rather than the traditional problem-solvers.

Crimson Line’s managed IT support:

• Reduces your business and financial risk with 24/7 remote monitoring;
• Reduces your downtime with scheduled task automation and proactive maintenance; and
• Betters your IT strategy to give you a competitive edge.
