Microsoft is making its Exchange Online and SharePoint Online hosted services available for trial in 19 countries, the company said this morning. The services were launched in the US in November.
As part of the international expansion, the company says it has won GlaxoSmithKline as a customer. The pharmaceutical giant, with more than 100,000 employees worldwide, had used software including IBM's Lotus Notes since the company was formed out of the 2001 combination of GlaxoWelcome and SmithKline Beecham.
Microsoft is offering the subscription-based services out of its own data centers as alternatives to running standard version software on their own servers. The company is also offering Microsoft Office Communications Online, for instant messaging, and a service called the Deskless Worker Suite for people who use the services more infrequently.
The company says Exchange Online and SharePoint Online are now available for trial in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK
