This paper outlines the Microsoft offering, illustrates its relevance to small and midsized business customers, and provides the resources to help you evaluate how your business might benefit from the service.

I. How are small and midsized businesses evaluating IT investments in today’s

business environment?

CHALLENGING BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Small and midsized businesses (SMBs) face a challenging business environment today. Volatility in the markets, shifting and more selective customer demand, and uncertainty about the future are creating a climate of scarce capital and risk aversion. This is altering the investment and cost equation for many business owners and managers, driving a sharper focus on cost savings and a stronger requirement for immediate, measurable return from every investment.

IT INVESTMENT CAN HELP

By making targeted IT investments, small and midsized businesses can drive meaningful performance gains that can help increase competitiveness and save money. However, the costs of acquiring new IT solutions are under increased scrutiny. Managers are under more pressure than ever to justify expenditures, minimize risk and deliver faster returns on investment. Software as a service is an emerging delivery model that can help with these needs, and also offer pricing that brings advanced IT-enabled capabilities within reach of nearly any size business. Small and midsized companies stand to gain, as they face smaller IT budgets, but still need to grow revenue while tightly managing expenses.

SMALL AND MIDSIZED BUSINESS PRIORITIES

A recent survey of nearly 500 small and midsized business owners and managers found that they are seeking to leverage information technology as a tool to improve customer responsiveness, increase productivity, and reduce costs.

More specifically, today’s IT investments must positively impact both revenue and expenses. Small and midsized businesses need to increase service levels to existing customers, deliver products and services more efficiently while reducing fixed costs and streamlining variable costs. All of these issues matter more than ever in the current economy.

TOP PERFORMERS WILL CONTINUE TO INVEST

Analysts predict that top-performing companies will continue to make meaningful gains in business performance to stay ahead of the competition and expand their market share.

Thus, while it is critical that small and midsized businesses scrutinize their investments, they cannot afford to lose focus on continuous improvement. Making fundamental business improvements through strategic IT investment can be part of an effective company strategy to drive competitiveness in today’s economic environment.

WW Small and Midsized Business Survey (October, 2008)

In order to compete…my company must:

1. Improve customer experiences.

2. Stay focused on our original strategy.

3. Invest in customer acquisition and retention.

4. Improve processes to increase employee productivity.

If my company was to make one significant technology investment to help us compete in the next 6 months, we’d focus on:

1. Make employees more productive.

2. Improve data management.

What business actions, if any, are you either currently taking, or planning to take…:

1. Use technology to become more energy efficient.

2. Reduce travel (use phone, Internet etc. instead).

3. Take steps to reduce time/expense associated with systems management.

4. Improve customer experience or management through IT.

“CEOs [now] view IT as a critical part of growing a business. (In the near future) IT‘s contribution will be cited in the top three success factors by at least half of top-performing businesses; IT barriers will be cited in the top three failure factors by at least half of the lowest performers.”

- John Mahoney and Tom Berg of Gartner, “IT Strategies

for Uncertain Economic Times”, December, 2008

“SMB interest in strategic infrastructure improvements speaks to the desire (to make) …meaningful performance gains. Major

overhauls and forklift upgrades are less attractive …(this) is where online services and cloud computing can make an important difference…”

- IDC, December 2008; “Impact of the Changing Economy on SMB IT Spending: Who Is Being Affected and How?”

II. What are the scenarios enabled by Microsoft’s Business Productivity

Online Suite? How can these scenarios help drive business value for

small and midsized companies?

Microsoft’s business class communication and collaboration capabilities, delivered online, can help small and midsized businesses address their top priorities. When combined with the services of a Microsoft Partner, these solutions can help companies: 1. respond more rapidly to customers by improving the way they share information; 2. deliver productivity gains by enhancing communications across teams and workgroups; and 3. reduce costs by providing a variable subscription service with manageable up-front costs and delivering security and reliability through a financially-backed service level agreement.

IV. What are the critical considerations when selecting a provider for

software and services?

Microsoft’s Unique Approach

Microsoft offers small and midsized businesses the flexibility that comes from combining on-premise software with complementary, integrated cloud-based services. This offering, called “Software plus Services,” provides businesses with the convenience, security, and reliability of both on-premise software and web-based services, combined with the choice of how they access and store information – on-premise, in the cloud, or as a combination of the two. This hybrid on-premise / cloud model enables businesses to focus on user and business productivity instead of deployment models.

Software plus Services enables small and midsized businesses to align the deployment model to their business needs, today and tomorrow. For example, remote offices could use Exchange Online while Headquarters uses an on-premise installation. If needs change, Microsoft

Flexibility

•Access from any device to cloud-based service and/or on-premise applications•Same rich client experience on all devices Microsoft

Online Services

POWER OF CHOICE

•Optimized for your business needs today: on-premise, in the cloud, or both •Flexibility to change your solution as your needs changeFor more information on Microsoft’s Software plus Services Approach:

http://www.microsoft.com/softwareplusservices/

Microsoft’s Software plus Services Approachmakes it easy to move the application from online to on-premise or vice-versa, with no change to the application or user experience. Thus, a company is never ‘locked in’ to one implementation or the other. Microsoft’s vast partner community is enabled to help small and midsized businesses determine the optimal implementation depending on the customer’s unique needs and priorities.

For two decades, Microsoft has been helping businesses of all sizes realize their potential by bringing the power of software within reach. With products that help companies grow their productivity and save costs, Microsoft and its worldwide network of industry leading partners are committed to serving the needs of customers around the world. Business Productivity Online Suite, designed to specifically address the needs of small and midsized businesses, builds on this tradition of continual innovation and support.
