Office in the cloud: what's in it for you?

The time is right for Office extend their Horizonte--in the cloud. Office-365 adds the Web versions of your favorite applications in Office 2010 and the server side of the equation: Exchange online for managing e-Mail and calendar, SharePoint online sites and cooperation, and Lync online for real-time communication such as online meetings and videoconferences. The server applications that cost prohibitive manage on its own for a small business can be, bring Office to a whole new level. This is, why more than 200,000 organizations are tested the service during the beta phase, and many cost savings now up to 50 percent.

I am to my marketing hat for a minute and you say what I think is especially cool about Office-365. Here are some examples:

Rather than having to send thoughts on version control and security, not attachments. Send a link by e-Mail to a SharePoint site, where your colleague can access the latest version of the document.In Office applications, you can see which colleagues are present.  This tells you whether you call, IN IM, or e-Mail contacts should, or if they are not available.Work on the same Word document with several people at the same time. You know when someone else checks a document and see your changes in real time, without worrying about versions or information.You share calendars with team members, and access e-Mail and calendar on almost any device that you use.

Our customers see value Office 365 also instant.
I hear love how Office 365 small businesses helps. For example:

Beas insurance agency, Office 365 for email, shared calendars, document workspaces, collaboration and instant messaging - they used all for the same cost a small firm in East Palestine, Ohio, spend only e-Mail. "We get great business tools on a small business costs", says Jeff Stewart, one of the owners.

Travellers haventhat provides temporary and corporate housing in all 50 States will avoid about $100,000 in hardware, software maintenance, and Elia says the cost of a staff IT person with Office 365, Wallén, President of the society. She also says that the service about 30 additional hours companywide, stores every day by the simpler for employees find information and connect with colleagues. "This is as with three more people in the Office," she notes.

Hjelm-Wallén delighted the use of Lync online for real time communication. "Betting that we send more than 1,000 instant messages per day,", she says. "It is much more effective as a series of e-Mails to send, and it's amazing, in a position, click on a button, and move an instant messaging conversation with a video call will."
