Preparing for North Star, Upgrading to Office 365 in 3rd Quarter

In the 3rd quarter we will be upgrading to Microsoft’s Office 365 in preparation for our upcoming implementation of Coca Cola’s North Star project that will consist of the adoption of eoStar Route Accounting Software and Microsoft Dynamics GP.  North Star will allow us to take full advantage of the latest technology, and enable us to improve performance and grow our business.

Last year our former startups, Summit, GTG Beverages, and ThirstMonger, adopted SalesForce as their Customer Relationship Management system.  However, they still used Lotus Notes for email which did not easily integrate with SalesForce. Because of this, additional steps were required to properly record communication transactions. We want to make sure that we upgrade prior to North Star implementation to prevent the possibility of error or unnecessary steps.

Office 365 is a cloud based application which will enable you to have access to Word, Excel, Outlook, and other Microsoft Office tools from any computer where you can get a Web connection, and from virtually any device including smartphones and tablets.  The upgrade to Office 365 will also permit us to connect to additional Coca Cola resources in the future.
