Microsoft is sticking to its plan to shut down its Office Live Small Business (OLSB) suite of cloud-based services on Monday, even though it seems many customers are either unaware of the deadline or are having difficulties migrating.
Microsoft first announced its intention to close OLSB about 18 months ago and launched the suite's replacement, Office 365, in June of last year. Customers also have the option to migrate to non-Microsoft email and website hosting providers such as GoDaddy.
It seems that many customers of this cloud-hosted email and website hosting suite won't make the deadline to transition to another service.
It's unclear how many OLSB customers remain oblivious to the suite's impending shutdown. OLSB is used primarily for email communications and website hosting.
Recently, some Microsoft partners developed automated tools to transfer websites from OLSB to Office 365, including CloudVisors. However, Microsoft never developed its own tool to do this.
