We are excited about three things that we believe separate Microsoft Office 365 from other solutions:1. We’re focused on providing the best productivity experience across the PC, the phone, and the browser with Microsoft technologies. Other solutions focus on the PC and they have no browser and no phone story. Some of them are completely browser-based. They have no rich client and they have no phone. We believe that your users, and you as users, really do want to use the PC, the phone, and the browser in your daily world. You want to be able to get to your email, no matter what device you’re using. You want to be able to get to your Office documents, no matter what device you’re using. And we’re making that possible with Office 2010, SharePoint 2010, Exchange 2010, and Lync. We want you to be able to work on your documents, and when someone touches it in the browser, they don’t clobber all of the things that someone did in the rich client. Office 365 round-trips the Office documents from the PC, to the phone, to the browser, and back, and nobody else does that. Your investment in Office documents is huge; you do not want to lose that.Office 365 also lets you do things in the PC that are unique from the phone and the browser. You do things in the browser that are unique from the PC and the phone. And you do things on the phone that are unique from the PC and the browser. Office 365 hasn’t just taken along list of capabilities and turned a bunch of stuff off and stuck it in the browser. When you’re in the browser, you get unique value that the browser brings to you. When you’re on your mobile phone, you can take photos; you’ll automatically drop those photos into your OneNote digital notebook, and that gets synced up over the cloud, and people who are using their PCs and their browsers see those photos. We don’t have that capability on the PC. So, PC, phone, and browser—the best experience for each one of them.2. We give you the cloud on your terms. We don’t give you a technology ultimatum where you must move to the cloud to use our technology. We give it to you on your terms. What does that mean? It means that if you’re like Starbucks, you may continue to use Office in your headquarters operation on-premises. But Starbucks has rolled out 18,000 laptops to all of their cafes in the United States. Those 18,000 laptops are running Windows 7. And those 18,000 laptops are using Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. And it’s integrated in with their headquarters operations. So you can send email to anyone in the company. But the 18,000 new users, who’ve never had our technology before, now are using our cloud, and the rest of corporate headquarters are actually using the traditional on-premises technology. Other Office 365 customerslike Coca-Cola Enterprises, have gone 100 percent to the cloud and they’re not using any servers when it comes to Exchange and SharePoint. And so you can have the cloud on your terms. We believe that is very, very important, and we’re dedicated to helping you think about how to use the cloud in the most effective way.3. Finally, the third reason we believe that you should bet on Microsoft Office 365 is because it is part of the broadest vision for what productivity actually is. Productivity is not about desktop documents. It’s not about word processing and spreadsheets. That was twenty years ago. Modern productivity combines the things you see at the bottom of this slide in a very seamless experience.Enterprise Search: Modern productivity means enterprise search, great people search, finding people inside your company.Collaboration: It means great collaborationECM: It means enterprise content management. Why do you have different publishing systems for your intranet, and your extranet, and your Internet? You want people to use the office tools they’re familiar with and integrate those with your single enterprise content management system.BI: Self-service BI meansExcel, SharePoint, and SQL Server, all making it incredibly easy for you to visualize data, democratize data within your organization. UC: And of course modern productivity means unified communications.

<Use this slide to set the expectations on what moving to the cloud means; share the capabilities of the service and the activities that are required to drive successful implementations.>Office 365 Services cannot be customized. As a standard service, Office 365 cannot accommodate change requests or customizations that deviate from our Office 365 service descriptions. If customizations are required to solve the business problem, an on-premises or partner-hosted solution might be a good customer fit. Real deployment timelines and migration costs. While customers know to expect lower total overall IT costs with cloud services, they need to be informed about cloud deployment costs. Office 365 deployments range from straightforward to highly complex, depending upon variables like the complexity of their environment. Office 365 services are not the same as on-premises solutions. Our world-class offerings provide customers with the best productivity experience across the PC, phone, and browser. Office 365 services give customers access to the most commonly used business productivity features and capabilities, supported by standardized operational processes.
