Microsoft offers the latest in collaboration and business productivity, for a fraction of the cost of owning on-premise versions. The lower pricing makes enterprise software more accessible and affordable to businesses of all sizes, while improving uptime and reducing infrastructure needs. In the past, small businesses in particular have not been able to utilize enterprise software affordably, since it required infrastructure, maintenance, new software license renewal fees, and could cost the company thousands in revenue if a server went down that supports e-mail and other collaboration tools.

Microsoft’s cloud-hosted Online Services environment, powered by Windows Azure, has created new opportunities for businesses to utilize enterprise-level software that would normally require them to own their own infrastructure. With a financially-backed 99.9%+ uptime guarantee and Microsoft-hosted servers, businesses can now utilize powerful collaboration and communication technology, without the high upfront expenses. Microsoft Online Services comes with a Business Productivity Online Standard Suite (BPOS) that offers for only $10 per user, per month, access to all of the most recent versions of the following Microsoft software: SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Office Live Meeting Standard, and Office Communications Online.
