Jeff Raikes (Important Exec at Microsoft) talkes about lots of things, including how Office might go in a SaaS / SwS worldhttp://192.168.2.20/blogs/doverton/archive/2007/03/07/jeff-raikes-head-of-office-talkes-about-lots-of-things-includinghow-office-might-go-in-a-saas-sws-world.aspxThis is funny, I was discussing Software as a Service (SaaS) / Software with Service (SwS) with a few people the other day. I said that I thought Exchange and Outlook were the best examples of Software WITH Service and why SWS is better than SAAS.

It works fantastically (apart from the Exchange servers are in the US) and the 2 users get all the usual collaborative working and can work anywhere just with an internet connection with a choice of client device. The service uses RPC over HTTP to deliver to an Outlook 2003 client. They get OWA and Windows Smartphone Access as well! Another supplier tried to sell them a Blackberry until they realised they couldn't install BES (as this is a hosted service) and then when they started talking about POP3 access, their whole proposal fell apart!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://192.168.2.20/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3117" width="1" height="1">
