Intermedia now offering Microsoft Office Communications Server as hosted service

Intermedia would become the first service provider in the market to offer hosted Microsoft Office Communications Server on a subscription basis.

The company plans to charge $7.95 per user, per month. It would initially be available to users of Intermedia’s hosted Exchange service.

Intermedia is based in New York and is a Microsoft’s hosting partner.

Rurik Bradbury, vice president of strategy for Intermedia said in a statement: “If you think Exchange is difficult to set up for a small business, think about setting up Exchange and OCS. It’s an absolute nightmare for SMBs to do this.”

They are going to provide these new services from their datacenters in California.
