ENT News | at | by Mike
Today Microsoft announced a new step forward for one of its Software as a Service initiatives, Microsoft Online Services, with online betas of Exchange Server 2007 and Office SharePoint Server 2007.
SharePoint Online and Exchange Online can be accessed only by companies who register for the online beta.
Redmond announced Microsoft Online Services in September of 2007 for businesses with more than 5,000 users, but now says that the service is open to companies of all sizes. Exchange and SharePoint are the first major Microsoft software releases on the platform, which also offers calendaring, e-mail, Web conferences and other online tools via Office Communications Online and Office Live Meeting.
