In a recent interview in Redmond Channel Partner magazine, Microsoft Senior Director for Online Services Tom Rizzo was asked about sales of Office 365. " The only thing I will say is I think those analysts will be shocked when we talk about Office 365 and the momentum that is actually happening with our concrete numbers. I've worked on some really great growth business at Microsoft -- Exchange, SQL and SharePoint -- and I'm amazed at the momentum of Office 365. We've only been in market since June 28 but we've been selling extremely well. "
More and more companies are making the decision to move to the cloud. For many, the decision is made as existing equipment reaches the end of its useful life. Rather than replace the equipment, cloud computing turns what would be large capital investments into small monthly operating expenses for them.
