With the New Year comes new opportunities; the value that Hosted Exchange and Hosted SharePoint® offer small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) has been proven and is now the preferred delivery model for enabling SMBs to be more productive, with less hassle and at an affordable cost.
The benefit of software as a service (SaaS) is in offering continuous access to the latest software, avoiding the effort, frustration and cost of upgrading and deploying new services to help businesses compete and thrive in this digital age. To help our Partners benefit from the market shift to SaaS, ITUtility.NET™ will be launching new product versions, new hosted offerings and technical-infrastructure upgrades:
• Exchange 2007 will be upgraded to Exchange 2010, enabling Partners to benefit from new features
• SharePoint 2007 will be upgraded to SharePoint 2010, introducing Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS)-like functionality
• The multitenant version of Microsoft CRM 4.0 will be launched, capitalizing on the growing hosted customer relationship management (CRM) market
• The technical infrastructure will be converted to virtual technology, increasing infrastructure performance and scalability for handling growth
Ongoing improvements to the ITUtility.NET Partner Portal, ITUtility.NET Control Panel and PortalDesk Admin Portal will enhance provisioning, marketing and administering Partners’ hosted offerings. The release dates for the hosted versions of Microsoft Exchange 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010 depends on the production release date from Microsoft and testing of the multitenant versions in the ITUtility.NET development environment. Historically Microsoft launches the multitenant versions of these products shortly after the commercial single-tenant enterprise editions are released.
We would like to thank all of our Partners for their support in 2009 and look forward to sharing a prosperous 2010. Best wishes over the Holiday Season from the staff at ITUtility.NET.
