EXCHANGE 2010 TO OFFICE 365 PLUS

Enterprise Office 365 which is split in four so called plans вЂ“ E1, E2, E3 and E4 (more info here).

Small Business Office 365 also referred to as plan P1 (more info here).Office 365 is available in three editions:

Office 365 consists of Exchange Online (Exchange 2010), SharePoint Online (SharePoint 2010), Lync Online (Lync 2010), Office Professional Plus and Office Web Apps.ДЄs some of you probably recall, BPOS came in two versions вЂ“ BPOS Standard and BPOS Dedicated. As some of you know BPOS consists of Exchange Online (Exchange 2007), SharePoint Online (SharePoint 2007), Office Communications Online (Office Communications Server 2007), and Office Live Meeting (Live Meeting 2007). In short, you can say Office 365 is BPOS version 2 plus a little more. I think itвЂ™s a good idea to superficially explain what Office 365 really is. ThereвЂ™s a lot of stuff to cover so why donвЂ™t we get started. This is a technical article focusing on demystifying most of the technical details involved with a migration to Office 365. This multi-part article will not talk about the pros and cons of migrating to Office 365. After having delved into the details of the small business offering, weвЂ™ll swift over and instead focus on the Office 365 offering targeting large enterprises.

That is businesses consisting of up to 25 users. Then, weвЂ™ll focus on the Office 365 package offered to small businesses.

That is I will begin with a short introduction to what Office 365 is and then take you through the signup process plus introduce you to the new Office 365 administrator portal. So the idea with this multi-part article is to use a similar approach to the one I used back in 2009 when I demystified the Exchange Online offering part of the Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) (can be found here). But now that Microsoft opened up the gates to Office 365 to pretty much everyone via the public beta that was announced on April 17th, I can finally share the experienced I gained the last approximately 7 months. This is because I signed a strict NDA prior to joining the Office 365. IвЂ™ve been participating in the Office 365 (and acted a SME buddy for Microsoft customers in the Office 365 TAP) since October 2010 but unfortunately, I havenвЂ™t been able or should I say allowed to share Office 365 related information with you my fellow readers.
