Specifically, BPOS – The Business Productivity Suite Online – Exchange Server 2007 Standard, SharePoint Server 2007 Standard, Office Communicator 2007 R2, Office Live Meeting 2007 Standard – today – in 20 minutes – you can review, click and be live with these products, direct from Microsoft – for about $10 per seat, per month.
Sclera has had a plethora of requests – all around the limitations of BPOS – and the inabilities of the Service Offering from Microsoft to let the client expand on the services.
SharePoint Server 2007 Standard: you cannot get this on your own domain; you cannot customize this site with SharePoint Designer; you cannot backup/transfer this site to your own SharePoint environment.
Exchange Server 2007 Standard – you do not get Archive or Encryption – out of the box. You get basic Exchange Server 2007 Standard – and there has never been a better example of calling a Service Offering – no frills. Sorry – could not resist that one.
Okay – fast forward to the 2010 product-line: BPOS 2010 does not yet exist. More importantly, all of the short-comings of BPOS 2007? Sclera has addressed with some SUPER serious pricing options that you must take a look at to really compare apples-to-apples.
Today, Sclera provides you SharePoint Foundation 2010, SharePoint Server (Standard / Enterprise) 2010, on demand, and on your domain – all published within an hour of your order.
Contact their Sales Team for details, or visit www.sclerahosting.com and review the new SharePoint Plans that are being announced between May and July 2010 – you’ll love it.
By June/July 2010 – Sclera will be providing Office Communications Server 2007/R2 as well – and this is on demand, on your domain.
By July/August 2010 – Sclera will be providing Exchange Server (Standard/Enterprise) 2010 as well – again, on demand, on your domain.
With these initial Service Offerings, Sclera will Announce Sclera Online Services – Business Productivity Suite 2010 – and you will have all of the 2010 product-line, at rates even Microsoft will not offer.
Finally, the current SharePoint 2010 S
ervice Offerings from Sclera – well – check them out – you might just qualify for your free SharePoint 2010 site (see http://freesharepointsites.com for more information).
Have a great weekend!
