Thread: BPOS Lite to Microsoft for SMEs

Microsoft is operational on a Lite version of its (BPOS) Business Productivity Online suite which is designed to ease the output of companies by placing its programs on a cloud.

Targeting SMEs

The aim is to obtain the offer which by now exists as well as create it more good-looking for smaller businesses that might not include the budgets of Coca Cola as well as Hilton Hotels (BPOS customers) to take pleasure in. The current suite includes Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Live Meeting and Communications Online.

Microsoft will outsource infrastructure management

It is not like the classic version, which is managed by Microsoft, BPOS Lite could be supported by a subcontractor. Indeed, Redmond uses its own servers for BPOS and does not move result to its Azure cloud any time soon. Use a subcontractor would reduce costs associated with operating in bridled offering versions of software.

Microsoft has not yet announced release dates or prices for BPOS Lite, but one imagines that the offer will be below $ 120 per user per year for the classic version.
