Jun 29, 2011 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- Fierce competition from web search firm Google has prompted software maker Microsoft to also offer its products over the internet. The new Office 365 version of its productivity programs suite will be sold on a pay-by-the-month basis and as a cloud computing solution with all documents stored online. The local partner in Australia for the new service costing between $A7.90 and $A15 per month is Telstra, while Google has chosen rival telco Singtel Optus. Companies with sensitive data however may not want to use Microsoft's data centre located offshore in Singapore.
