MICROSOFT'S BUSINESS Productivity Online Suite comprises four separate offerings.
Exchange Online
Exchange Online provides employees with access to e-mail, calendar, and contacts from virtually anywhere, at any time, on desktops, laptops, and mobile devices - while helping to protect against malware and spam. It can be rapidly deployed, flexibly expanded, and is designed to be securely administered using a powerful yet simple remote web-based console.
SharePoint Online
SharePoint Online allows users to share documents, contacts, calendars and tasks through a single location. Based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, SharePoint Online delivers team collaboration capabilities that enable users to flexibly and efficiently collaborate with team members, find organisational resources, search corporate intranet sites and manage content and workflow.
Office Live Meeting
This allows users to connect with colleagues and customers through real-time meetings, training sessions and events using only a PC with an internet connection. Hosted web conferencing services from Microsoft Office Live Meeting provides staff with the power to collaborate wherever they are, to set up project meetings, brainstorm ideas and collaborate on whiteboards without the cost and hassle of travel.
Office Communications Online
This enables users to find and rapidly connect with the right person from the applications they use most. It provides streamlined access to rich presence and Instant Messenger capabilities that are centrally managed by IT, and work seamlessly with a range of Microsoft Office system programs.
