What is Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS)?
Software-plus-services is the Microsoft approach to the next generation of online computing. Central to this new strategy is bringing together the best of cloud-based services and the software that resides on a world of devices. The power of local client and on-premises server software combined with the reach and always up-to-date nature of services in the cloud will be more compelling than software-only or service-only approaches.
The goal is to provide seamless experiences for individuals and information workers, along with the choice and flexibility for organizations about how and where to deploy and manage their infrastructure and line-of-business applications.
