BEA is a very large UK contractor. Defence contractor BAE Systems has ditched plans to adopt Microsoft Office365, the online version of the Microsoft Office suite.
The supplier could not guarantee the company's data would not leave Europe, in spite of operating a datacentre in Dublin. "We were going to adopt Office365 and the lawyers said we could not do it," said Charles Newhouse, head of strategy and design at BAE Systems, speaking during a panel debate at the Business Cloud Summit 2011 in London. http://www.computerweekly.com/news/2240112018/Office365-fails-BAes-legal-team -- Kind regards Andrew Stirling 01250 874580 supp...@calcpay.co.uk http://www.calcpay.co.uk HMRC Accredited UK payroll program _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4ee8baff.1030...@calcpay.co.uk ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
