Value on Investment | cloud platforms

I believe, for many organizations, that their digital world is flat. Satisfied with their transfer of Email and file workloads to the cloud. Our Platform Value Predictor (PVP) allows individuals and organizations an opportunity to understand the level at which they are extracting value from their cloud platform investments. This predictor focuses on modern workplace habits and provides the greatest perspective when completed by all members of your organization, regardless of role, from the office to the field and everywhere between.  Access the survey:      http://bit.ly/PVPSurvey    After you have answered this brief series of questions you will have seen your results and may compare them to the "norm" by following the link at the top of the results page ( http://bit.ly/PVPResults ).  If you would like to have a PVP configured for your organization, please don't hesitate to reach out, the results will astonish you.
