Latest business productivity capabilities Offered as individual services or an integrated suite, customers will get the benefit of the latest messaging and collaboration features such as business-class email, Web conferencing, instant messaging, document collaboration and workflow.
Ease of use With Online Services, administrators and end users will have a unified experience to access any of the hosted services. Administrators will only have one place to go to manage subscription and to configure all Online Services. End users will have the ability to securely access the service anywhere without the need for a VPN connection and through a wide selection of mobile devices.
Greater flexibility Online offerings integrate with on-premises servers and applications so that organizations can run some applications internally and others as hosted services. Leveraging tools such as Active Directory synchronization, customers can make online, on-premises or hybrid deployment choices by service, user roles, and geography that best meet organizational priorities and needs.
Improved agility Organizations can quickly enhance or expand their IT capacity by adding new services without having to invest in the development of new skills or deploying new hardware and software. Valuable IT resources will be freed from routine IT management tasks to focus on core business initiatives that can deliver a true competitive advantage.
