Raleigh, North Carolina - (The Hosting News) - August 13, 2008 - Hosted enterprise-class Internet solutions firm, BizCom Web Services, Inc., has debuted its Hosted Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 solution.

Offered as an add-on to BizCom's Hosted Exchange Service, this winning combination of advanced communications functionality and outsourced management gives small- to medium-sized businesses the ability to implement a fully unified, enterprise-class communications platform for minimal cost.

Don Rodger, Vice President of BizCom Web Services noted, "In today's extended workplace, productivity and efficiency depend on fast, reliable, and secure communications. With OCS, mobile workforces can instantly connect and collaborate with local and remote team members, confer with customers and partners, and contact suppliers-without putting sensitive business information at risk."

Microsoft's OCS enables real-time communications, including enterprise-class secure instant messaging, software-powered Voice over IP (VoIP), and audio and video web conferencing. It also powers presence, a key benefit that unites all the contact information stored in Microsoft Exchange to enable real-time employee monitoring and communication. This, coupled with BizCom's Hosted Archiving Solutions, is truly a breakthrough in state-of-the-art communications systems. However, SMBs are typically discouraged by issues of price, complex software and back-end requirements, and administrative learning curves.


BizCom's Hosted OCS 2007 service provides all the functionality of this versatile collaboration tool for a fraction of the cost and without all the headaches that come with in-house ownership and management. Key benefits include:


Instant remote communication with other organizations and users - Use an Internet connection to send secure instant messages from outside the corporate firewall-eliminating the hassles of a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

• Secure collaboration - Safely share applications from work or home with encrypted instant messaging; maintain tight control over intellectual property and sensitive information with server-based audit logs.
• Total visibility - Determine users' online availability with a single mouse click.
• Robust, flexible development platform - Create and customize innovative real-time applications that can be easily adapted to changing business needs.

Mark Wiener, President of BizCom remarked, "By integrating OCS with BizCom's Hosted Microsoft Exchange 2007 service, businesses can capitalize on all the technology advances that fuel the efficiency, productivity, and revenue growth of today's leading corporations. In addition, BizCom's Hosted Exchange servers are hosted in a fully redundant infrastructure that is reliable, scalable, and secure and comes with a 99.99% uptime guarantee."


Hosted OCS 2007 plans are currently available for as little as $7.95 per user/per month, as an add-on to users of BizCom's Microsoft Hosted Exchange service. For the latest information on pricing and supported configurations call (866) 253-4316.
