Microsoft will leverage its integration abilities as a way to strengthen its hold on smaller accounts Oct. 9 when it formally rolls out two versions of its Windows Small Business Server 2003 at its annual partner conference in New Orleans. With the upcoming Standard and Premium Editions of the product, the company has technically stitched together a collection of its core server applications and its server operating system, Windows Server 2003, in a way that helps smaller users get core pieces of its IT infrastructure up more quickly. Company officials believe this tighter integration can serve as a foundation for smaller companies to more easily build customized solutions.
