Macintosh Business Unit: 25 Years of Connecting Mac Users to Microsoft Productivity

Entourage. Meet Exchange Web Services.

With Microsoft Entourage for Exchange Web Services Beta, we’re delivering greater connectivity between Entourage and Microsoft® Exchange Server as well as greater parity between Entourage and Outlook. We began by moving the development of Entourage from WebDAV to Web Services – a more modern and robust protocol that enables client applications to communicate with the server running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 SP1 or later – for better compatibility, performance and reliability.

Better, Smoother Collaboration

Document Collaboration Companion Beta provides Office for Mac users new ways to work with both Windows-based Office Systems and Office for Mac colleagues with easier downloading/uploading capabilities to SharePoint and Office Live Workspaces. The result? Simpler, more efficient collaboration with your colleagues. Delivering these capabilities will provide Office for Mac users the opportunity to take full advantage of integrative online productivity as the melding of software and services transform the cross-platform tools landscape
