Microsoft unveils a locked-down, hosted app bundle for U.S. government customers
Microsoft is rolling out a new version of its Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) tailored specifically for federal government users, the company announced on February 24 during the kick-off of its annual CIO Summit in Redmond.
The new bundle is known as Business Productivity Online Suite Federal. No, this is not related to the still-unannounced BPOS Lite offering I wrote about recently. This is something aimed at government contractors “and others that require the highest levels of security features and protocols,” according to the Softies. The new Federal offering will be sold directly by Microsoft, as well as by its Large Account Resellers and federal resellers.
