Happy New Year!! We are going to kick it off right too. This year our resolution is to keep a little more momentum behind the UCDoers group!! Quite a resolution I know, but well worth it. Last year we had a few great meetings (there weren’t many, but each one was a great experience). This year we’re going to continue to keep good speakers and events, only we’re going to have a few more of them,

To start with our commitment we have asked the Exchange Online team (yeah the Exchange in the cloud group that everyone keeps talking about), to come by and chat about what Exchange online is, what the other online services are that make up Microsoft’s Online Services offering are, and how these things can integrate with your messaging strategy.



Of course there will be the usual good eats, and the usual group of Messaging and Unified Communications geeks to chat with. To keep things easy, we’re even going to keep it in the same place as the last one (McKinstry Company located at 5005 Third Avenue South Seattle, WA 98134 http://www.mckinstry.com/).

From the MOS team…..

· This month's Unified Communications Group presentation will have speakers from the MOS group at Microsoft.

· Have you ever wanted to know more about hosted Exchange, OCS, and SharePoint, with some limited ability to interoperate with existing deployments?

· Now Microsoft offers them as Online Services-fully hosted in world-class data centers and supported by a high-performance team who keeps your software up-to-date and optimized, helping you realize value from your technology investments faster. When you work with us, you'll have the winning combination you need to help accelerate your business.

· Larger companies that want to move a portion of their users online can take advantage of it. And MOS is a great advantage for smaller companies.

· For more information about MOS, see: http://www.microsoft.com/online/default.mspx or http://www.microsoft.com/online/trial.mspx



We will also provide an update on upcoming meetings\plans for the group as we continue to grow the UCDoers User Group!
