Lansing web design firm brings popular Microsoft products to Michigan

Lansing, Michigan – Strengthening its Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings, Lansing web design and web hosting company, Dreamscape Multimedia, has added hosted Microsoft Corporation's (Nasdaq “MSFT”) Exchange and hosted Microsoft SharePoint to its hosting repertoire.

"By hosting Exchange Server and extending it to our customers, we are seeking to fulfill a niche we have been seeing over the past few years," said Matt Schoenherr, Dreamscape Multimedia president. "There is a segment of the SMB population who are in a kind of email limbo–where their free email service isn't cutting it anymore and the expense of licensing, implementing and supporting an internal Microsoft Exchange server is cost-prohibitive. Here we have a great middle-ground, where–for as little as $12 per month, per inbox–customers can enjoy the power of Microsoft Outlook email and Exchange's collaborative calendaring, effectively joining the rest of the business world." Subscribers of the service are able to download a free copy of Microsoft Outlook through their account control panel and support for Blackberry and other PDA's is also available.

According to the latest market analysis by the Radicati Group, hosted Microsoft Exchange Server is the fastest growing subset of the hosted business email market. In their hosted Exchange model, Dreamscape Multimedia manages the technology and support for their clients, greatly reducing the operational and capital costs for these tools.

Dreamscape Multimedia's SaaS offerings include hosted Microsoft Exchange Server (for email and calendaring) and hosted Microsoft SharePoint Server (the popular team collaboration tool.) SaaS allows customers to subscribe to the desired software instead of purchasing. Subscriptions typically are monthly, though annual plans are available. Using this pay-as-you-go approach, businesses are now able to enjoy these favorite Microsoft email and collaboration tools as a low-cost service.
