Cloud-based hosted collaboration from CenterBeam

CenterBeam has unveiled a hosted collaboration suite designed to provide midsize enterprises with the functionality and familiarity of on-premise offerings and the convenience and cost-effectiveness of the cloud.

The company says with CenterBeam 365+, users get more than what's offered in Microsoft Office 365, including Microsoft Office Web Apps, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Lync and Microsoft Exchange.  CenterBeam 365+ delivers in the cloud 17 on-premise features of Microsoft Exchange in the categories of administration, applications, client access, compliance/archiving, directory, security and voice mail, according to the company. Further, says CenterBeam, 365+ offers enhanced security and archiving, simple integration into the user's existing environment, experienced implementation, single vendor accountability and live 24x7 support from the company's North America-based customer care team.

CenterBeam 365+ enables enterprises to integrate their infrastructure, no matter where those systems reside today, the company says.

In addition to selling the solution direct, CenterBeam is offering CenterBeam 365+ to its partners and resellers. This option offers resellers enhanced compensation and enables them to maintain account control, including the ability to direct bill their clients.
