#DOES OFFICE 365 INCLUDE VISIO PC#

Microsoft Project Server, a project-management product, already is available as a service from a handful of Microsoft hosting partners. (Microsoft execs have declined to provide a ship-target for Office 15.) Office 15 - the next version of Microsoft's client and server Office wares - is expected by many to be a late 2012 or early 2013 release. The partners said they believed a launch of Project Online and Visio Online would likely be timed to arrive with its Office 15 wave.

Several partners said they had heard word of the coming Project add-on, and one said he also had heard talk of a Microsoft-hosted Visio service. Nonetheless, several partners I spoke with at the Partner Conference maintained that Microsoft's plan is, indeed, to include Project and Visio services in Office 365 down the line. 'When talking about Dynamics CRM Online, Project, Visio and Office 365, (Park) was referring to the sales cycle and CRM Online attachment to Office 365 when customers buy that service, the way Project and Visio appeal to customers buying Office today, not that Project/ Visio will be part of Office 365.' Update: A Microsoft spokesperson said company officials don't agree with my characterization of what was said at the meeting. The idea in adding services like CRM Online, Project and Visio is to make it as easy for small/mid-size users to subscribe to them with a single click when 'ordering' Office 365 as it currently is for enterprise volume licensees to do so. Microsoft Business Solutions Corporate Vice President Michael Park made a passing reference to the coming Project and Visio Office 365 add-ons during an interview I had with him at the partner conference. At this week's Worldwide Partner Conference, I heard about two more services Microsoft is planning to add to Office 365: A hosted Microsoft Project service, and a hosted Visio Service.

I blogged recently that the next two services to be added to Office 365 will be Dynamics CRM Online and Windows Intune, Microsoft's PC management and security service. But the company is readying even more hosted services to add to its core hosted Exchange, SharePoint and Lync Online Office 365 platform. Microsoft only just launched its Office 365 cloud platform a couple of weeks ago.
