Microsoft has developed an On the web Support Wellness Dashboard, that will give consumers of its Microsoft-hosted providers data about the position and status history with the various Organization Productivity On the web (BPOS) providers.The rollout of the new Dashboard comes around the heels of three outages experienced by many Microsoft On the net Providers end users in North America. Microsoft may be notifying BPOS customers of the position of their companies via an RSS feed, but many people with whom I;ve communicated inside the past couple of weeks don;t seem to understand that this kind of a feed exists.Microsoft officials introduced the availability of the new dashboard,

Windows 7, Communications Over the internet and Live Meeting. There also is a historical status view, which displays the “greatest level of company degradation for the given day,” according to the weblog publish.Here;s a shot with the initial dashboard screen from Microsoft:(click on about the dashboard screenshot to enlarge)Microsoft is delivering new BPOS-related features on a regular basis,
Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, and is promising a bigger “vNext” rollout inside the first part of next year. Microsoft officials have said they;ll make test versions of vNext providers available to customers in calendar 2010. The vNext versions of these solutions will include some of the functionality that Microsoft launched in the software versions with the respective point products that it shipped within the previous year-plus.Microsoft is expected to rebrand BPOS as “Union” at some point inside the not-too-distant future. I;m wondering whether the Union family will be condensed to include Exchange Online, SharePoint On the web and Lync On the web (the new name for Communications On line) only, as much of the Live Meeting functionality seems to become moving into Lync. I asked Microsoft but was told the business had nothing to share on that front at this time.Beyond Union/vNext,
Office 2007, Microsoft has plans to further unify its Online Solutions suite by more tightly integrating its CRM Over the internet offering with all the rest of BPOS and making certain ERP elements available as hosted services, officials said recently.I also recently asked Microsoft Enterprise Options Corporate Vice President Michael Park whether Microsoft had decided to shelve the “BPOS Lite” product I wrote about earlier this year. Park said that BPOS Lite is still going forward, but said it was too early to talk further about specifics.
