Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS)
Standard Suite

The Business Productivity Online Suite is a collection of Microsoft hosted services including Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Office Live Meeting, and Microsoft Office Communications Online. These services provide integrated communication, security, and simplified IT management. When your company subscribes to one or more of the services, it can connect to internal Microsoft client and server applications. Because Microsoft hosts the services, it reduces your company’s need to maintain internal IT services. Many companies are utilizing this "software-plus-services" model to decreases internal hardware and software expenditures.
