Business Online Productivity Suite (BPOS) – Let Solidsoft Help

What is BPOS?
BPOS is a suite of enterprise-class software that is hosted by Microsoft and delivered as a subscription service. BPOS includes:

Exchange Online, including Exchange Hosted Services, which are attached services that encompass the archiving, encryption, continuity and filtering of data
SharePoint Online for intranets and document sharing
Office Communications Online for real-time communication and presence (instant messaging and related capabilities)
Office Live Meeting for interactive Web conferencing

Versions
Microsoft offers standard and dedicated editions of BPOS:

  • Standard. You receive a complete, standardised offering of the software in a shared environment, which you can manage, including some customisation. There are no minimum or maximum licenses required, and it is less expensive than the dedicated offering.

  • Dedicated. You receive a dedicated environment on a Microsoft-hosted server (or servers), which enables you to customise the service to your specific business needs. You’ll need to license a minimum of 5,000 seats and select options for additional server features to take advantage of the dedicated offering.
