Managing Office Pro Plus

Office 365 PortalNetwork Share Pros Easiest for companies with little or no IT help No internal organization resources are required Full user self-service approach Office 365 provided functionality and administration Limited IT skill required Limited infrastructure required Network share and network access are the only infrastructure requirements. Single download - more efficient for slow connections Supports customized installs Some deployment controls Allows 32/64 bit control Cons Each download is 650MB No customization Users make select of 32/64 bit options No IT Administrator control Difficult to track deployment Requires IT Admin activity Requires some internal infrastructure Difficult to control and manage May impact local network performance Suggested Scenario Isolated and mobile users who don’t have ready access to an internal share location or organizations that do not have share location or technical resources to support a centralized distribution Customers who have limited bandwidth connectivity to internet resources or want to have added controls of the deployment and have an IT Administrator to manage the setup process

Managed Install Pros Leverages Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) and Group Policy infrastructure. Administrators can use a similar scripting process to apply security updates and service packs. Applications are deployed to thousands of workstations in a short period of time. Centralizes control, monitoring, reporting, and issue resolution of deployment. Reduces the need of sending helpdesk personnel to workstations for troubleshooting. Cons Per-user licensing has administrative overhead Cannot achieve silent install Requires supporting infrastructure Expertise is required to manage the change and configuration management software Suggested Scenario Customers who have a large installed base and Federated ID. Existing VL customers, customers with IT staff, and those seeking to leverage existing deployment infrastructure should deploy VL rather than OPP. Customers seeking Virtualization should deploy VL.
