AT&T, a leading telecom operator in the United States, announced the launch of Microsoft Office 365.

Half of small businesses expect to have all their employees using wireless technology to work remotely by the end of this year, according to the 2012 AT&T Small Business Tech Poll.

Microsoft Office 365, a cloud-based solution, assists small businesses to access to business tools in real-time.

Customers are choosing Microsoft productivity solutions because they deliver a more complete experience and greater flexibility to move to the cloud on the customer’s terms,” said Eddie O’Brien, vice president, Operator Channels, Microsoft.

“With AT&T’s wealth of experience working with small businesses, customers using Office 365 will have an always up-to-date service that delivers enhanced features and new capabilities as soon as they are available.”

AT&T is leveraging its TechSupport 360SM service to deliver hands-on activation, set-up, and migration of the solution, providing added peace of mind for customers migrating from existing systems to Microsoft Office 365 from AT&T.

Pricing begins at $6 a month per user, depending on individual business needs, making Microsoft Office 365 from AT&T a more comprehensive solution compared to key competitors in the marketplace.

“Microsoft Office 365 from AT&T gives small businesses the same powerful tools available to large enterprises but designed specifically with the small business owner in mind,” said Ebrahim Keshavarz, vice president of Small Business Product Management, AT&T.

Microsoft Office 365 features cloud-based tools to enhance business productivity at a low predictable monthly cost, enhanced security and virtually anywhere access. Know more about Office 365 Email Migration Service and SharePoint Data Migration.
