NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 07/16/12 — Concurrent with Microsoft-s new Office announcement today, Intermedia, a global leader in cloud services for small and medium-sized businesses and the largest provider, announced the release of the company-s beta program. This continues the pioneering company-s tradition of innovation. Intermedia was the first hoster to offer hosted Exchange in 2000, the first to market with Exchange 2003, 2007 and 2010, and the first to offer private label hosted Exchange. Intermedia was selected by Microsoft as one of 10 partners to beta test Exchange 2013, its next generation Exchange platform. Intermedia offers a complete set of cloud services, including hosted Exchange 2010, via its Office in the Cloud suite of services. Office in the Cloud combines popular Microsoft services such as Exchange, Lync and SharePoint with Intermedia-s services for backup, mobility, security, voice and more. Microsoft-s Exchange 2013 is scheduled to be generally available in early 2013.
“Our customers and partners demand the most up to date cloud services, and we remain committed to providing them with cutting-edge technology,” says Michael Gold, president, Intermedia. “Our hosted Exchange 2013 beta not only continues our tradition of providing the newest, leading technologies, but also opens the opportunity for the public to test this exciting product, explore its new interaction and provide feedback.”
