TiGra Networks has partnered with Microsoft Office Live to offer this introductory service for micro and new businesses who are not yet ready to buy a server. Promote your business online with a professional-looking web site and company email addresses at no cost. Ever.
That's right, you read it correctly. Free domain registration, free web site, free business email addresses, setup and support from TiGra Networks - all for free. We'll conduct a short business assessment to get to know your business and to make sure this is the right service for you, then we'll start work on your new professional online presence.
See the comparison chart below to compare the differences in the free Office Live Basics and the subscription-based premium services. Most new businesses will want to start with the completely free Live Basics service.
As the business grows, or if you already have a few staff but are only just venturing online, then you will probably want to select one of the premium services to get access to the online business management tools, simple customer relationship management, tracking of company assets, invoices, project management, document sharing and team collaboration tools.
Whatever service you decide on, TiGra Networks will help you get it setup and design your basic web site for free. You don't need to worry about outgrowing the service, because we specialise in networks and servers for small business and we'll be able to help you migrate your business data onto your own server. We also offer maintenance plans and support services for your PCs and servers and can help you plan your long-term IT strategy.
Our advice is always free, even if you haven't purchased anything from us.
