Microsoft Cuts Prices on Exchange Online

Posted by Susan Hall Nov 3, 2009 10:20:25 AM

The city of Los Angeles' decision to switch to Google Apps was just the latest -- and biggest -- blow to Microsoft's dominance in the e-mail market.

 

But Microsoft isn't taking it lying down. It's cutting prices. Exchange Online will cost $5 per user per month down from $10 per user per month. And its Business Productivity Online Suite  — which includes SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, Communications Online and Live Meeting — also will be cut by $5 to $10 per user per month, reports Mary-Jo Foley at ZDNet. The price of the Deskless Worker versions, however, will remain the same.

 

Bloomberg reports savvy customers are able to negotiate discounts as well.

 

At the same time, Microsoft is expanding availability of the the online productivity suite to 15 more countries, according to seattlepi.com.
