What is the Deskless Worker option of Microsoft Online Services?
The Deskless Worker option of Microsoft Online Services is a scaled down version of the full Business Productivity Online Suite.
Deskless Worker includes:
- Exchange Online
- SharePoint Online (READ ONLY)
In contrast to the full BPOS bundle, there is no Office Communications Online or Office Live Meeting. Likewise, users licensed as Deskless Worker can access SharePoint repositories but not participate in editing files. All access will be read-only- perfect for contracts, sales sheets, and reports.
Access to Exchange Online, either via Outlook or a web interface (OWA), is fully functional including collaboration features of Email, Calendaring, Contacts, and Tasks.
As insinuated by the name, the Deskless Worker is great for sales people on the road, or road-warriors in general.
