Sprint To Deliver Productivity Solutions From Microsoft

[Techtaffy Newsdesk]

Sprint will deliver Microsoft Office 365 to small and mid-sized businesses this year. Sprint plans to bundle Office 365 with value-added services. The new offering marks the expansion of Sprints Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) portfolio, which includes support, office and field-productivity services.

Using the “as-a-service” model, Sprint says it will deliver new applications to round out its portfolio of cloud-based services. The portfolio also includes Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) planned for launch in late 2012 and Sprint Complete Collaboration, a Unified-Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) solution launched earlier this year.
