Choice is critical in business, but sometimes it’s difficult to determine the best decision for your specific organization... 

Such is the case when it comes to contracting services for Azure and Office 365. For many years, the best choice for larger organizations was signing up for an Enterprise Agreement (EA) directly with Microsoft. However, with the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) option, you can purchase from a certified Microsoft partner which offers certain unique benefits. 



Join Interlink Cloud Advisors on April 22 for an exclusive webinar. Interlink's licensing  experts will walk you through EA vs. CSP and help you navigate and compare both offerings - so your organization knows which is best! There are pros and cons to both.

You’ll also walk away with an understanding of:

• New changes to EA and CSP in 2021
• New perpetual licensing in CSP
• Scaling and flexibility between the offerings
• Differences in renewal and invoicing 
• Advantages and disadvantages based on your organization’s size and industry
• Azure Hybrid Benefit, Reserved Instances, and Server Subscriptions
• Changes to Software Assurance 
• Best practices and questions every organization should be asking
• Funding/Licensing
• And much more!

This process can be challenging to navigate – but choosing correctly can save your organization time and money in both the short-term and long-term. Register for the webinar today.

Interlink Cloud Advisors, a consulting firm specializing in premier Microsoft’s Cloud technologies, has announced that it will add 16 new jobs at its location in Deerfield Township within the Cincinnati region. The Ohio Tax Credit Authority approved a Job Creation Tax Credit to support Interlink’s growth. This will enable the company to grow its headcount by 100 percent in the next three years.

Throughout the pandemic, Interlink has experienced 44% year-over-year growth as organizations require greater remote capabilities and support with Microsoft products. This includes better data security, enabling their users to be productive from anywhere and assistance navigating Microsoft’s licensing programs.

User identity is the foundation of all security strategies...

Protecting your user identity from compromise is the #1 investment you can make to protect your organization. Closely aligned with user identity are desktop and mobile endpoints, which are used to access your organization’s resources.

In this special on-demand event, Interlink experts will walk you through modern identity and access management utilizing Azure Active Directory Premium and modern device management with Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

The statistics surrounding enterprise identity risk are staggering...

According to a recent report, 94 percent of organizations have suffered an identity-related breach at some point and 79 percent suffered such a break in the past two years. Despite those numbers, less than half of the respondents to the survey have fully implemented key identity security safeguards.¹

Identity is today’s gateway to your network and properly controlling it is the key to system security. The growing implementation of cloud applications, the increased use of personal devices connecting to your network, and the rise of the remote workforce mean that you are no longer able to protect your data behind a four-wall security fortress. The challenge now is securing user identities to ensure you are limiting access to authorized users.

Microsoft has positioned Microsoft Teams as the client for Intelligent Communications in Office 365. 

And, many organizations now use Teams as their central hub because it brings all communications features including Messaging, Meetings, Calling, and Collaboration into a single client interface.  

During this on-demand event, Interlink’s collaboration experts will provide you with an in-depth overview of Microsoft Teams Meetings and how to get the most out of it. Our team also covers the capabilities of Teams Meetings and Live Events, as well as the new Advanced Communications Meetings option.
