InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft has revealed more of its software-plus-services plan to better compete with online competitors, announcing new hosted services targeted at enterprise customers and small businesses.
The company's enterprise product roster is poised to get a makeover with its first hosted services for larger enterprises. Until now, Microsoft has primarily focused its online services initiative on consumers and small businesses.
Microsoft's Online Services for Business are available to large businesses with 5,000 or more seats, and feature hosted versions of Exchange e-mail, SharePoint document management, and Office Communications.
