Office 365 Service Pack 3 Release

With the release of Service Pack 3 previously this month, Office for Mac can now partake in the Office 365 subscription offerings.

The subscriptions service are best suited for customers who use Office on an array of devices as it will allow any combination of Mac/PC installs using 5 re-usable licenses; although, if you do have only the one device there is a lot of value consisting of free version upgrades etc.

Please do note that the minimum requirement for Office 365 subscriptions on Mac is OS X 10.6; while lasting Office for Mac 2011 remains 10.5.8. This difference is due to some of the Office 365 services functionality that are included within the subscription offer.

I am aware some people will be wondering when the next version of Office for Mac will be available now that Office 2013 has launched; unfortunately Microsoft are not ready to make an announcement at this moment in time, but know they are working hard on the future of Office for Mac. The most current version of Office for Mac is 2011.

If you are interested in Office 365 and have any questions please get in touch.

Lovely people to deal with, customer service is second to none, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent system for requesting help I have waited no longer than 30 minutes for help. Would highly recommend.

I attended a Microsoft Teams demo recently and was impressed by the way the session was delivered. I particularly like being able to see the presenter's face which builds rapport and engagement. Also hearing about how Eitex use Teams was helpful. I have attended other Teams training in which it seemed that every way to do every thing was covered which is a bit mind blowing if the topic is new to you. Thanks guys!

Attended a Cyber Security presentation at Eitex by West Yorkshire Police, Informative and "eye opening". There is always more you can do to protect your company and yourself. It just confirmed that you have to be constantly alert to threats.

I recently attended a Microsoft Teams workshop as its a tool I am keen to embrace in my new role and when an opportunity arose to see it in use by the professionals I got in contact and I am so glad I did. It was conducted in a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable to ask questions/pitch scenarios of use and also have the ability to see how it used elsewhere I worked at Eitex nearly 10 years ago Eitex has always been keen to be at the forefront and embrace changes within the IT space and its nice to see that's still the case with Dean and his team. Highly recommended

Eitex’s support is helpful and attentive and they try to break down technical jargon down to easily understandable English.

JS Recruitment is known for service excellence and professionalism. When selecting suppliers we choose only those who share our values and work to the same high standards. This is certainly true of Eitex. Eitex have supported JS Recruitment during a recent office move, provided expert advice on how best to protect and future proof our business and they continue to provide proactive IT support. We know Dean and the team at Eitex to be consultative, responsive and above all they deliver exceptional customer service. With this in mind, we would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Great seminar on Office 365 by Dean at Eitex today. It was really insightful, jargon free and has made me realise the software's full potential and how we can improve our infrastructure to make us more efficient. Lots to think about and implement!

We have worked with Eitex over the past couple of years, managing and supporting both our hardware infrastructure and Microsoft 365 environment. In that time we have always had great service and they have always gone that extra mile to get everything just right. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Just attended an Office365 Taster session and even as an experienced user I found that there are alot of other programmes which we do not currently use but would be of benefit to us. Session was easy to follow and very informative.

Your team and yourself have once again excelled, the service you provide I feel is second to none and it is incidents like what we have just incurred which really test a service like you provide and to say you have gone above and beyond is an understatement. From the first report I made, your response time and the haste in which you acted has undoubtedly saved us untold hassle let alone cost.

YORKSHIRE RUBBER LININGS LTD “Here at YRL we know loads about rubber but much less about IT! That’s where Eitex comes in. They too are good at what they do and they make sure we keep going and service our customers by maintaining our computer based systems. We have used Eitex since its inception and are proud to say we were their very first client. Concentrate on what you’re good at and leave the IT stuff to Eitex!”
