Until recently, Web pages were mainly static HTML pages,
providing a way for businesses to simply present
information on products or services. Today, businesses
recognize that web sites can do much more.
Web sites should be places where people can dynamically
interact with information, find what they want, and enjoy
the experience. They should be destinations worth
visiting over and over.
In its commitment to enable the evolution of the Internet,
Microsoft delivers powerful solutions for businesses to
customize, manage and present dynamic information on the
Web while meeting their customers' demands for speed and
stability. Through the power of the Microsoft BackOffice
suite of integrated server products including the Internet
Information Server, businesses now have the best platform
for the new generation of dynamic web applications.
Web sites bearing the Powered by Microsoft BackOffice logo
utilize the versatility of these powerful solutions,
setting a new standard for excellence in web development.
Below are some examples of sites Powered by BackOffice on the Web today. |
- Database-driven publishing
-
The Internet Database Connector in Microsoft's Internet Information Server
provides seamless access to ODBC databases, such as
Microsoft SQL Server and
Microsoft Access for the fastest way to publish database information on the
Internet. Microsoft's Online Events Calendar demonstrates how easy
this can be when your site is Powered by BackOffice.

- High-Volume, High-Impact Publishing

Some of the busiest sites are sports-related. When your site is high-volume
it must be extremely reliable. With the advanced fault tolerance built
into Windows NT Server, your information is
protected with disk mirroring,
drive duplexing and disk striping with parity. In short, Windows NT Server
is built to handle the load.
As both the NBA and the NFL know, in order to keep people coming back you
need more than reliability, your content must have impact. Which is why
both www.nba.com and superbowl.com are Powered by BackOffice.
- Dynamic, Customizable Sites

Check out www.msn.com, a unique site built with your personal interests in
mind and customizable on the fly.
