As part
of our vision to deliver the best productivity experience across the
PC, browser and phone with Office 365, we’ve been working in partnership
with Research in Motion (RIM) to deliver support for BlackBerry
smartphones through a new RIM-hosted cloud service for our customers.
Details around this new RIM service were first shared back in March 2011,
and today we are pleased to let you know that RIM has launched an open
beta of BlackBerry® Business Cloud Services for Microsoft Office 365 – a
new RIM-hosted cloud-based service for businesses to extend Microsoft
Exchange Online to BlackBerry® smartphones and self-manage their
BlackBerry deployments in the cloud. You can see RIM’s press release here.
Microsoft Office 365 customers can sign up for the BlackBerry Business Cloud Services beta at www.blackberry.com/beta/businesscloud.
More information is available at www.blackberry.com/cloudservices.

Kortgeleden hebben we Lync voor de Mac geintroduceerd (http://blogs.microsoft.nl/blogs/uc/archive/2011/09/09/lync-voor-de-mac.aspx ) en helaas is er een probleem ontstaan op OS X Lion na de laatste update (10.7.2). We zijn bezig om dit probleem op te lossen, maar in de tussentijd is er een workaround om de zaak weer aan de praat te krijgen:

Microsoft Office 365 for enterprises is a set of cloud-based services, delivered through multiple data centers worldwide. The services are provided through many IP addresses and URLs, listed in this topic.
Delivering cloud-based services requires scalable, dynamic solutions that are accessible from anywhere. With these requirements in mind, Microsoft will continue to use new and alternative methods to deliver cloud-based services. To benefit from these changes, we recommend that you enable routing to the root domain names listed in the following tables (such as *.Outlook.com, *.MicrosoftOnline.com and *.SharePoint.com) instead of routing to specific IP address subnets.

Het komt nogal eens voor dat bedrijven of organisaties een mix van Standard en Enterprise CALs kopen voor Lync 2010, bijvoorbeeld omdat niet iedereen Conferencing nodig heeft (als jet het eenmaal hebt, wil je niet meer zonder overigens). Dat levert voor IT wel de uitdaging op om goed in te regelen dat de juiste functionaliteit ook aan de juiste gebruiker aangeboden wordt op de werkplek. Om hierbij te helpen heeft niet alleen ons product team een blogpost gemaakt, maar ook de nieuwste Nederlandse Lync MVP Jeroen Reijling; een link naar beide posts staat hieronder:

Snap je meteen waarom Jeroen MVP geworden is :-)

Are you evaluating how Office 365
fits into your overall communication and collaboration strategy plan, both today
and into the future? Specific to SharePoint, are you planning for full cloud
adoption within your firewall, or will you begin your move to the cloud with a
mixed deployment across SharePoint environments – both on-premises and online
within Office 365? To provide insight in this area, we’re excited to announce
the new “Hybrid SharePoint Environments with Office 365” whitepaper. LINK
