The Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) is a set of messaging and collaboration solutions that are hosted by Microsoft, consisting of Microsoft Exchange Online, SharePoint® Online, Office Live Meeting, and Office Communications Online. These online services are designed to give your business streamlined communication with high availability, comprehensive security, and simplified IT management without sacrificing user experience.
