Microsoft Office 365 Capabilities: |

Office 365 provides a suite of cloud-based applications to complement and enhance the Office desktop client experience. First among these is SharePoint Online. Instead of deploying and managing SharePoint internally, SharePoint Online gives you a complete hosted SharePoint experience. You and your business users have anywhere access to the rich collaboration, information management and business intelligence capabilities of SharePoint.

One can access SharePoint Online directly from within Office 2010 client applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

- Eliminates the need to constantly e-mail revisions back and forth
|
Office 365 also provides a robust, hosted communications infrastructure, using Exchange Online and Lync Online. |

Exchange Online: |
|
Exchange online provides e-mail, calendar, contacts and tasks infrastructure, as well as the complete functionality of an internal Exchange deployment, including presence information, publishing free/busy data, and MailTips. Exchange Online services can be accessed in a variety of ways, including the full Outlook desktop client, the Outlook Web App and mobile devices using Exchange ActiveSync. The Outlook Web App provides full functionality across browsers, including Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox. As far as mobile devices, it supports the Windows Phone, Nokia E and N series devices, Palm devices, Apple iPhone and iPad, and certain Android phones.

Lync Online: |
|
Lync Online lets you access a hosted version of Microsoft Lync Server, the successor to Microsoft Office Communications Server. It provides a reliable, secure and real-time communications platform, along with a plethora of next-generation capabilities. Lync Online gives you anywhere, anytime communications across instant messaging, audio and video calling, online meetings and Web conferences. You can move seamlessly between instant messaging conversations and ad hoc online meetings; conduct online presentations to customers or partners using audio, video and screen sharing; invite external contacts to participate in online meetings; and view presence status of other users within Lync and other Office applications.
Both Exchange Online and Lync Online support a coexistence deployment model. This facilitates integrating in-house and hosted services. Coexistence gives the flexibility to migrate to cloud-based services at any time. Some users can be internally hosted on servers, while migrating other users to Office 365.
With Office 365, there are three subscription tiers available: Office 365 for Enterprise, Office 365 for Small Business and Office 365 for Education. Each delivers the appropriate set of services based on the organization's size and requirements. It is easy to provision new users and manage existing users with an online IT Management Dashboard. The IT Management Dashboard helps add new users, reset passwords, adjust subscription tiers, create security groups, manage service requests and so on. Administrative control can be delegated on a granular level. By bringing the familiar Office experience to the cloud, providing cross-platform and device access, and providing flexible licensing and deployment capabilities, Office 365 can help businesses keep up with an increasingly global and mobile environment.
