Still Thorum turned to Dallas, Texas-based Saint Systems, a Microsoft Online Services Partner and Small Business Specialist, to implement Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), a set of messaging and collaboration tools, delivered as a subscription service, that provides rich messaging, storage and collaboration capabilities without the need to deploy and maintain software and hardware on-premise. These online services are designed to help meet business needs for robust security, all-day every-day reliability, and user productivity.

The suite includes Microsoft Exchange Online for email and calendaring;Microsoft SharePoint Online for portals and document sharing; Microsoft Office Communications Online for presence availability, instant messaging, and peer to peer audio calls; and Office Live Meeting for web and video conferencing.

It was a one day implementation for Saint Systems who migrated Still Thorum Architecture from Google Apps to Microsoft BPOS and the result has been nothing but positive. “Now we have a robust storage and document sharing system that can grow with us…,” says Montgomery Still, Principal, Still Thorum Architecture. “…and with Exchange, Communicator and Live Meeting, our collaboration with and service to our clients has improved dramatically.”
