SP Business Suite Takes Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint to the Next Level of Productivity Including Intranet Portal, Employee Self Service, HR, CRM and Service Desk

Sacramento, CA, November 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- SP Marketplace provider of cloud based collaborative business applications for SMBs, announced SP Business Suite for Office 365 and SharePoint. The new offering is a comprehensive suite of applications specifically designed for small to medium organizations that require easy to use, quick to deploy and cost effective solutions. The suite was built on Microsoft’s Office 365 platform, and leverages SharePoint, MS Office, Outlook, Lync and other 365 features. The applications included are:

· Intranet Portal with Employee Self Service
· Department Portal templates
· Human Resources
· IT Support
· CRM

SP Business Suite can be purchased as an integrated solution or as individual applications. While built on Office 365, the applications can run in the Cloud or on-premise SharePoint. It supports all editions of SharePoint (including Foundation) and Office 365 SharePoint Online. SP Business Suite can be accessed from computers, tablets and smart phones, providing anytime anywhere capabilities.

"Many SMBs are going to a cloud IT model, for email, office apps and simple collaboration, leaving real business process automation to disparate on-premise or SaaS applications," states Darrell Trimble CEO at SP Marketplace. “SP Business Suite consolidates core SMB business processes on a common Office 365 cloud platform to deliver cloud-business-in-a-box.”

SP Business Suite applications fit almost any organization because they are 100% customizable without programming. Packaged application provisioning services for configuration, deployment and branding are available. Rather than having expensive consultants develop solutions from scratch costing tens of thousands, SP Marketplace fills the SMB market need for cost effective solutions which better match the Office 365 cloud financial model. “To get this level of functionality we were looking at many weeks and thousands of dollars in service fees. Instead we spent one-fifth the cost and had it up and running in a week,” said Mike Doscher, VP at Crush Logic a wine industry services firm.

SP Business Suite is available now from SP Marketplace or one of its Partners. Applications are priced from $10/user/month on a subscription plan or from $1500 for a perpetual license for a single site.
