Microsoft announced on 28/06/2011 the launch of a cloud service called Office 365 which will bring together Microsoft Office, Microsoft Lync Online, Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online and will be distributed in over 40 markets.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said: "With a few clicks, Office 365 levels the playing field, giving small and midsize businesses powerful collaboration tools that have given big businesses an edge for years."
Office 365 will ease the work of users worldwide by all the services that will be provided and will be available in service plans designed to help companies of any size.
Already many major companies will join with Microsoft to use the new service and considering that only beta version in a few months has attracted over 200,000 users, certainly we have all the prerequisites for a new big hit from Microsoft.
