Will Office 365 be Worth the Cost?
The day after Microsoft's cloud visionary Ray Ozzie announced he is stepping down, Redmond announced today the re-launch of its cloud office suite as Office 365. Office 365 will combine all of Microsoft's existing SaaS offerings (Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online and Lync Online) under one umbrella. Plans start at $2 per user per month for e-mail hosting, but scale up to $24 per user for the whole package of services. That's a cost of $864 per user over the course of three years. Can Microsoft justify the steep cost?
Does Sharepoint's Lag Mean an Opening in Multi-Billion Content Management Market?
The word is out that Sharepoint 2010 is not getting the adoption that Microsoft had expected. The slow gain reflects the business cycles of license renewal but also means a turning point in the market and a multi-billion market opportunity for companies like Alfresco Software.
Alfresco Software is an open-source content management system. Today it is announcing significant upgrades to its platform. Arguably most noteworthy is its integration with Spring, the Java-based platform for application development owned by VMware, formerly known as SpringSource.
Spring, as it is now called, is one of the hottest platforms in the enterprise market, fueling already strong growth in the market for app development.
