Deploy Microsoft Office Groove 2007 to targeted teams for an attractive price

With Office Groove Enterprise Services, you can cost-effectively deploy Office Groove 2007 in a small to mid-sized enterprise or to target workgroups within a larger enterprise.

• Grow your Office Groove 2007 deployment slowly without increasing server infrastructure costs. Whether you have 5 or 500 users, Office Groove Enterprise Services requires no on-site infrastructure or network changes.
• Eliminate steep data storage fees charged by application service providers. Because Office Groove 2007 workspace data is stored on your users' computers, you don't pay for data storage.
• Easily scale your deployment to meet expanding user requirements. When your Office Groove 2007 deployment grows to the point where it makes sense to bring the management infrastructure in-house, you can easily migrate to Office Groove Server 2007 without disrupting user productivity.

Cross collaboration boundaries easily, efficiently, and with enhanced security

Microsoft Office Groove Enterprise Services Relay, the second component of Office Groove Enterprise Services, is an efficient "store and forward" service hosted by Microsoft. The service, in combination with Office Groove 2007 software, allows you to easily bridge the gaps that inhibit dynamic team collaboration without introducing security risks into your network.

• Business teams using Office Groove 2007 stay in sync automatically, even when they're not online at the same time. When a user is working offline, Groove Enterprise Services Relay temporarily stores incoming data changes until the user reconnects to the Internet. The changes are then automatically downloaded to the user's computer, effortlessly.
• Business partners and customers become an extension of your organization. Groove Enterprise Services Relay automatically routes data from one Office Groove 2007 client to another, even across network boundaries, without requiring a virtual private network (VPN) or extranet.
• Organizational data remains protected even when it is temporarily stored on servers at Microsoft. The Office Groove 2007 end-to-end encryption model helps ensure that data can only be decrypted by workspace users. Microsoft does not hold encryption keys to Office Groove 2007 workspaces.
