published on 2009/05/27 by Yann Gourvennec

After Microsoft's, the second blogwell presentation at Blogwell #3 which took place on April 29 in NYC, was that of Molly Schonthal from Nokia, who is in charge of social media for the Finnish cell phone manufacturer in the US, and also one of our representatives of the blog Council.

The presentation was entitled "from broadcast......

Well, why not both? Exchange 2010 will allow customers to run a hybrid approach between cloud and premise based services. This is another feature that I find very intriguing. Microsoft has obviously made a huge splash wit BPOS (Microsoft Online). They have announced a few very large customers, and many smaller enterprises are moving to it or kicking the tires. Microsoft is looking to find a new source of annuity revenue to guard against the possibility of a major drop in their core Office and Server revenue streams.
