office365logoMicrosoft today announced the commercial launch of Microsoft Office 365, the company’s next-generation cloud productivity service for businesses of all sizes, in Middle East and Africa region, including Pakistan.

Previously available on a trial basis in markets across the Middle East and Africa, Office 365 is now commercially available in 16 countries across the region.

The cloud solution will also be available with local pricing in Pakistan. Leading IT service providers, including CubeXS, Inbox Technologies, Maison Consulting, Premier Systems and Infotech and many more will bring the service to their customers.

Office 365 brings together Microsoft Office, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Lync Online in an always-up-to-date service, at a predictable monthly cost. The service was introduced in limited beta last year with enthusiastic response, particularly among small and midsize businesses.

Over a few months, more than 10,000 organizations, many of which were small and midsize businesses, signed up and began testing Office 365, creating one of Microsoft’s largest global beta programs for businesses.

“Today, we are taking a giant leap in IT services in Pakistan. Through Office 365, Microsoft is providing world-class productivity software to business of all sizes, especially Small & Medium businesses, at predictable and affordable costs,” said Salman Siddiqui, Channel Lead, Microsoft Pakistan. “Today’s launch of Office 365 will accelerate that evolution by delivering enterprise-grade collaboration for everyone.”

Moving to the cloud with Office 365 doesn’t require a business to change the way it works, because the service is based on familiar productivity tools people know and trust, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access and more. Employees get new ways to work together with ease, on virtually any device or mobile phone, and businesses get the reliability, security and IT controls they need in the cloud, even without a dedicated IT staff.

Microsoft is building a massive partner ecosystem around Office 365, which includes value-added resellers, systems integrators, and service providers such as telecommunications and hosting firms. Combined, the partners will improve reach and offerings to businesses of all sizes, deliver value-added services and support customers in their journey of moving to the cloud, and integrate Office 365 with their existing services.

Office 365 for small businesses and Office 365 for enterprises are available now. Businesses can try it for free for 30 days by signing up at www.office365.com or from their local Microsoft partner.


    • and they get in return your privacy which they use to make classified ads and as a result use your PR…
      also they make stuff to work on their own browser rather than cross platform.. Try to use GMail, Reader, G+ on Opera and Firefox, you will see the difference..

      • Google does not prevent you from installing adblock or flashblock.

        But if the problem is only classified ads based on my content (email etc) and the ads are created by a computer and no human is looking at my data, then who cares? How many people do you think look at your data when you send email or visit web pages? Likely 0 — but lots of computers log what you do.

        And as far as privacy is concerned, what assurance does Microsoft give you? Nothing stronger than Google.

        As far as cross browser is concerned, I think you have never used OUR OWN efbr website. Those idiots make it only work for IE6! Even newer IE doesn’t work on their site! What madness.

  • I am using Office 365 from last 6 months and this is awesome.
