Microsoft's Cloud-based Office 365 Still a Little Foggy in Beta Release
The full Office 365 suite will be released very soon (target date: June 28th), with various subscription levels and packages aimed at small and medium sized businesses, as well as larger enterprises.
There is a dedicated Office 365 site for Canadians .
Online or cloud-based apps like Office 365 promise enhanced collaborative and sharing capabilities; reduced operating and hardware costs; as well as the ubiquity of Internet-based access to valuable business documents and administrative tools.
In some ways, Office 365 is Microsoft’s answer to Google’s own online app suite, which has been available as a free consumer version and a business solution for some time.
Office 365 offers users the abilty to create two websites – one is public, and very suitable in establishing an online presence for a SOHO or small business
The other is an internal or private site, established specifically for collaborative teamwork among employees, co-workers and staff.
So Office 365 was first unveiled last October, and it has been in public beta for several months now. Gathering feedback, wish lists, complaints and big reports is part of the process, and Microsoft is expected to address a few of the grey areas in its cloud service offerings with official release.
A press event planned for the official release date will reportedly have senior Microsoft executives speak to the beta development and enhancement process.
Meanwhile, a ‘first look’ evaluation here at What’s Your Tech.ca has been underway for a few weeks.
One initial concern was that the powerful Microsoft desktop software solutions are ‘too big’ and ‘too powerful’ to be web-based apps, but for the most part, they run reasonably well in a browser.
While full software functionality is very important to some (like in Excel spreadsheets), some users might find a scaled back version like Google’s apps to be smoother and faster to use.
The cloud’s been around for a while, and although it seems everywhere these days, in terms of new products and services, Microsoft was slow to offer a complete solution (some Office apps like Word, PowerPoint and Excel were online before the Office suite).
Office 365 provides online editions of Word, PPT, Excel and OneNote; e-mail and mobile calendaring is done through Exchange.
Server tools include in the package support SharePoint collaboration on the ‘Net, with Lync used for IM and other online conferencing and calling activities.
