Microsoft said Monday that it is cutting by a third the subscription prices for the hosted versions of Exchange, Sharepoint, and Office Communications Server.

The software maker plans to cut the monthly per-user cost of licensing all three products from $15 (£9) to $10, while the cost of licensing individual products is also dropping by as much as 50 percent. The move comes as Microsoft faces continued pressure from rivals, including Google.

Last week, the city of Los Angeles voted to go ahead with a deal to shift many employees to Google Apps from Microsoft Office.
