Office 365 Voted Best Cloud App of 2011

Tyler Holman

December 17, 2011

 

MicrosoftOffice365 is the best cloud app of 2011, according to CRN. Listing the 15 best products of 2011, the magazine said that Office 365 was 'the real deal, and it blows away Google Apps.

So, what's so great about Office365? CRN cites price as one of the primary draws, with subscriptions starting at $6 per month per user, which is actually a dollar more than the monthly pricing for Google Apps for Business. Office 365 also came out ahead because of its ease of use, since it's possible to roll out full functionality across large enterprises in a matter of minutes.

Why Get Certified: 

Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 brings a new and rich set of technologies, features, and services to the Exchange Server product line. New features and functionality in Exchange 2010 support several key concepts:

  • Flexible and reliable
    • The pressure to optimize your IT infrastructure to respond to changing business conditions demands agility and that means investing in solutions that provide you and your organization choice. Exchange 2010 gives you the flexibility to tailor your deployment based on your organization's unique needs and a simplified way to help keep e-mail continuously available for your users.
  • Anywhere access
    • Enhancements in Exchange 2010 helps users get more done by helping them to access all of their communications-e-mail, voice mail, instant messaging-from virtually any platform, Web-browser, or device through industry standard protocols. Managing the flow of information into and out of an individual's inbox daily can create overload and affect productivity and profitability. In response to this challenge, Exchange 2010 adds new productivity features that can help users more easily organize and effectively prioritize their communications.
  • Protection and compliance 
    • Exchange 2010 delivers new, integrated e-mail archiving and retention functionality, including granular multi-mailbox search and immediate legal hold.
