- (1888PressRelease) July 13, 2012 - In the presence of IT managers from various corporations in Oman, IOTAP, a Microsoft Cloud Accelerate Partner, in collaboration with Microsoft, organized an event to showcase the next generation cloud technology, Microsoft Office365. The cloud productivity event was held recently at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Muscat.
At the event, IOTAP and Microsoft delivered sessions on various topics related to Cloud Productivity and its benefits, with the help of customer case scenarios and live demonstrations.
IOTAP showcased its services and solutions portfolio and showed how companies can scale their critical infrastructure and simultaneously reduce IT costs through Cloud Services.
Microsoft officials said that Office 365 would complement the company's efforts to help customers take advantage of the most complete set of cloud-based solutions to meet any business need. They also said that Office 365 would be a key element in Microsoft's plans to provide world class collaboration tools to businesses. Office 365 is catered to organizations of all sizes that are looking for enterprise class communication and collaboration solutions that are flexible, bundled, integrated and seamless in operation, and work across multiple facilities and devices.
Microsoft Office 365 will also provide the highest levels of reliability, performance and security with the best service level agreement policies in the industry. The company's newest cloud service brings together Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online in an always-up-to-date cloud service, at a monthly subscription.
In addition to enterprises, Office 365 will also help the small and medium enterprise community. Office 365 can play a significant role in helping their employees share information in new ways that boost productivity and minimize IT costs. With Office 365, people can stay on the 'same page' using instant messaging and virtual meetings with people who are just down the hall or on the other side of the world. They can work on files and documents at the same time and share ideas as easily as they can share calendars.
Microsoft will roll out a wide range of service plans that are designed to meet the needs of a variety of companies of different sizes at the time of Office 365's commercial launch.
