Microsoft® BackOffice™:
Your Internet and Intranet Solution
Microsoft BackOffice Server Suite Sets Industry Standards
The BackOffice product line brings with it a proven track record of integrating
Microsoft products. Find out why our customers are enthusiastically
endorsing the BackOffice line. And see how the products combine to fit all your server solution needs.
Microsoft® BackOffice is the only integrated
server suite designed to make it easier for companies to improve
decision making and streamline business processes with a choice
of client-server solutions that work on the Internet. In addition,
with the recent inclusion of the high-performance Microsoft Internet Information Server,
the Microsoft BackOffice brings these capabilities to corporate
networks giving customers a choice of traditional client-server
applications and the open standards of the Internet and internal
intranets.
Other vendors are just beginning to recognize what
our customers already know: a suite of integrated server applications
delivers the best platform for delivering network business solutions.
Netscape®'s announcement of their intent to enter this
market sometime later this year indicates an initial realization
of the market's requirement for a suite of server applications.
As the originator of well-integrated software suites
on the desktop, Microsoft Office™,
was also the first to deliver the value of an integrated server solution
with Microsoft BackOffice.
