According to Microsoft Technet…

“Exchange Online delivers email services including spam filtering, anti-virus protection, and synchronisation of mobile devices”

“Through Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, you can use the advanced email, calendar, contact and task management features of Exchange Online.”

“Office  Outlook Web Access enables users to access their email messages from almost any browser – whether the user is in the office or on the road.”

From firsthand experience – I actually find OWA – Outlook Web Access a very hand feature of hosted (or non-hosted) Exchange environments.  The ability to access your Exchange mailbox from anywhere, anytime means that you can clear your email on your terms!

“Microsoft Online Services… world-class products delivered as a subscription service hosted by Microsoft”

These services span Productivity, Business Services, Collaboration, Communications, Compliance, and IT Management.

What does that really mean?  You can subscribe to an online service which delivers hosted versions of Exchange, SharePoint, Office Communications, Live Meeting, Dynamics CRM and System Center – without the hassle of having to run your own servers, with the added advantage of it all being operational expenditure.

So check back over the next few days as we dive deeper into Microsoft Online Services.

The goal of this website is to publish news, reviews and updates on different enterprise hosting options across email, collaboration, crm, voice, web servers and contact centers.

So irrespective of technology – for example Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, CRM, Google Apps, GMail… irrespective of what geography you are in – North America, South America, Asia, Europe or Australasia… you will be able to find the best hosted service for your business. Large or small.
