Azaleos Corporation, a managed unified communications services company, last week announced Azaleos Managed Hybrid Services, a new software plus a service offering that blends its remotely managed on-premise Exchange Server service with Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) and Exchange Online.

“Virtually every organization has a mix of users—desk-based, mobile, tele-works, etc.—each with different email requirements including some that are bound by regulatory compliance mandates,” says Scott Gode, vice president of marketing and product management for Azaleos. “Azaleos Managed Hybrid Services allow organizations to match individual users with the appropriate email service they require to be productive, which can be on-premise or online. With this new service, choosing between on-premise and cloud email is no longer an ‘either-or’ proposition.”

According to Azaleos, the offering is available now from Azaleos and its business partners with pricing starting at an average of $15 (USD) per user/month (for the combination of on-premise and BPOS services).
