MICROSOFT ONLINE SERVICES
Rather than the services being installed on the organization’s own servers, with Microsoft Online Services, the services are installed on Microsoft's servers which users access across the Internet. This makes Microsoft the service provider which hosts and manages the software on behalf of the customer.
