DataLan and Microsoft offer a free assessment program for you to learn how your current business productivity infrastructure compares to the latest IT research and industry best practices and assess how well your IT infrastructure helps your business keep pace with change and competitive challenges. The results can help you determine which initiatives your IT teams should focus on for maximum business benefits. The program has been used effectively by a number of leading organizations and in the words of one CIO, enabled him “to use the familiar Microsoft Office desktop programs to deliver business information to the desktop through business intelligence, workflow, and collaboration applications.”
