This post is sponsored by Microsoft for National Small Business Week 2016. This series discusses how small businesses use technology to drive their success.

As a company grows, small business owners need more technical support. There are more users, applications and a large variety of ways to access the information the company and their customers need.  This is yet another area what they did not budget for and do not have time to address.

One company is now shifting this problematic paradigm. Nerdio, together with its channel partners, is changing the game in the delivery of IT to the small business owners.  Nerdio’s “Instant Streaming Desktop” (or sometimes called “IT as a Service”) gives users the same experience they have in-office Microsoft Office 365, no matter where they are or on what device that are currently using for work. The company provides support across many verticals from finance, non-profit to logistics. They say it’s like having a complete IT department for a fraction of the price since they bill per employee! Nerdio makes IT a business utility and not something that the company needs to worry about how it will work.

According to CEO, Vadim Vladimirskiy, customers get Fortune 500 quality virtual hardware, software, full-spectrum security, and disaster recovery. Office 365 is one of the key components of their platform they provide to customers. Their clients use the entire suite of applications – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access, and SharePoint. Of them, Outlook, Word, Excel, One Drive, Skype for Business and PowerPoint are the most popular. Most importantly, Vadim says that Office 365 also works seamlessly with many of the other industry specific applications that his customers need to use on their desktop.
