Microsoft Office:

It goes without saying that Microsoft Office 2003 is an essential component for a truly integrated small business. Microsoft Office 2003 works very closely with some of the new features in Small Business Server 2003 offering a level of employee collaboration not previously available for the SMB market.

Now Microsoft is building even further on the Office suite with Microsoft Office Small Business Accounting. Fully integrated with Microsoft Office 2003, this accounting was designed for small business. In fact, Microsoft went so far as to create an entirely new version of Office, Microsoft Office Small Business Management Edition 2006.

The following vendors provide solid solutions at various price levels:

SPAM Protection

SPAM has become the leading concern for most businesses. While there is no foolproof solution, using a multi-layered solution can prove extremely effective.

Sunbelt Software

Microsoft

Not very many configuration options but its a great start and, best of all, it's free.

GFI

Spyware

Many of the anti-virus solutions include a version of anti-spyware as well. However, much like SPAM protection, a single solution will not be complete. It is recommended to augment your anti-virus solution with a separate spyware solution.

Backup Software

While Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 comes with a built-in backup utility, it does have some limitations. If you data security needs require a higher level of protection, you will need a full fledged data backup solution.
