Nimbulus Consulting is a customer and current participant in the Office 365 Beta for small businesses. Since its formation in 2009, Nimbulus Consulting has emerged as a leading provider of cloud computing solutions to businesses based in the United Kingdom. Recently, Nimbulus shared some of their early thoughts on their Office 365 beta experience thus far.
--
We were interested in joining the beta as we truly believe in the power that the cloud can provide to our customers, both big and small. As a Cloud Accelerate Partner with Microsoft, we are dedicated to giving the best advice possible to our clients based on their needs, and we have been energetically evaluating the Office 365 Beta and participating in their "Rapid Deployment Program" activities. As we've begun trialing the product, we wanted to share our first thoughts and excitement about the new online applications of Exchange, SharePoint and Lync.
Exchange Online: Initial set-up in Outlook was a breeze. Setting up users and administering was straightforward, as was calendar sharing. The experience is far more integrated i.e. staying on a single tab (browser window) and getting consistent navigation across all pages. Lync Online: We love the new Lync Online branding. Also being able to see your conversation history is really useful. We tested videoconferencing with another person in a different country and it worked well across two standard ADSL connections. That's a big bonus for us having a corporate alternative to Skype. SharePoint Online: Although I've had some experience with SharePoint, this version seems so far more advanced, it's almost like a completely different application. I can't wait to play around with the Blog and public Website functions. The thing I like best so far is the version control for documents and not having to e-mail documents around for review.

We still are in the early stages of testing, but it looks like Microsoft has developed a great product that will allow us to provide solutions to meet many of our customers' productivity needs.

This sounds so cool, just wish we could participate! Have kind of given up on the Beta, so can't wait for Office 365 to go live.
Looks to me like Nimbulus is not really on Office 365 at all, at least not on their production domain:
> dig nimbusconsultinggroup.com MX
;; ANSWER SECTION:
nimbusconsultinggroup.com. 1200 IN MX 20 mx1.biz.mail.yahoo.com.
nimbusconsultinggroup.com. 1200 IN MX 30 mx5.biz.mail.yahoo.com.
We are waiting for our access also. We are currently using Google Docs so the sooner we can get access to Office365 the better.

@Charles: Don't give up! Everyone will get their chance if they are signed up on Office365.com. Just a little more patience! Thanks for reading too.
@Paul: Thanks Paul, as I said to Charles, we are continuing to add user to the beta, your turn will be coming.
Hello,
I'm a Director at Nimbulus Consulting Ltd in the UK.
We have no relationship with the NIMBUS consulting group. Our primary domain name is NIMBULUS.CO.UK.
For the avoidance of doubt our MX records point to a standard Exchange environment.
We are testing both the Small Business and Enterprise Office 365 Betas with great results so far.
Just setting the record straight.
Kind regards,
Nazz
I love the post
@Discount: Check the response from Nimbulus above...not Nimbus. Different companies.
Looks to me like Nimbulus is not really on Office 365 at all, at least not on their production domain: like the post thanks
Government should have more awareness towards R&D especially to private sector. They need help from the government. Anyway, visit my site at
