[Slide Objective:]
To provide a deeper dive on “Worry less” pillar benefits and features to preempt objections on:

[Talk Track:]
You can feel secure with Office 365 helping you manage and protect your company’s devices, data and budget while simultaneously giving your company a competitive advantage.
[Hit on these main points, and insert specific anecdotes that help you tell this story:]
With features like mobile device management, data loss prevention and rights management services your data will be secure and controlled, by you.

If you have specific compliance needs within your organization, Office 365 gives you the compliance features all in one place to meet regulations in your industry.
[Office 365 messaging:]

[Slide Objective:]
To provide a deeper dive on benefits and features of “Work from anywhere” pillar to preempt objections on:
Doesn’t always-on = skewed work-life balance? (Cultural, change management conversation, managed services)
Inconsistent experiences across devices
Document version issues when working outside the office – train your employees to work differently. Example: Sending links instead of attaching documents in email.
[Talk Track:]
<Presenter: Start this slide off by asking the audience how they work best. Example below>
How do you like to work? – in office on certain things; at home on others? How do your employees work and where are they geographically?
<Presenter: You want to introduce your own elements here, soliciting ideas such as a coffee shop, a park, on the road, etc. From there you want to talk about the cross platform/device story and inquire as to how they get work done on their tablet or mobile device>
[Hit on these benefits:]
You get a familiar experience across all devices
You and your employees can work from anywhere whether or not you have access to Internet
You can easily access critical information and docs when you’re out of the office while still ensuring that your data is secure.

Get smooth access to cloud-based productivity services hosted by Microsoft (business-class email, file sharing, HD video conferencing), making it easier to stay closer to customers and colleagues – and keeping you one step ahead of the competition.
Rely on one terabyte of online storage: because you should never run out of space to store your important documents.
[Slide Objective:]

One great example is: to enable a easy access portal for HR and benefits information for your employees , so they can search learn and find info about their benefits (employee handbook, procedures, benefits, etc).
[Office 365 messaging:]
Whether your collaboration needs are simple or advanced, Office 365 makes working together smooth, secure and productive.
Exchange is the business-class e-mail solution that facilitates collaboration across all platforms and devices to keep you in sync with your customers and colleagues, 24/7.

Host or join a meeting from all of your favorite devices (including iOS and Android). Easily present, share and collaborate on documents (or a virtual whiteboard) within the meeting space.
Office 365 supports broader collaboration with services that allow teams to share content and videos. SharePoint is an easy drag and drop intranet for documents and files.

In response to all these changes, many small and midsize businesses are focused on three key areas:
Doing more with less—In today’s business environment, doing “more with less” has become the new normal. To stay ahead of the game, it is imperative to get the most out of every investment. When it comes to your technology investments, this means cutting costs wherever possible and getting the most value out of the products and services you purchase. It means creating a foundation that will grow with your business and set you up for the future.
Getting the job done, wherever you are—As the division between our personal and business lives blurs, employees expect to be able to work anywhere—whether on their PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. SMBs need to enable this mobility, while making sure their data is kept safe.
Focusing your efforts to win business—Most businesses recognize that they have a massive amount of useful data in a range of disparate sources, such as customer databases, accounting systems, and product data. But it is often challenging for employees to access the data they need and to put it to use to make sales and better service customers. Those businesses who can use information to their advantage will win customers and keep them.
Today’s business environment is always changing. To win, you need to stay ahead of the game:
First, be lean & stay lean. Don’t invest a cent more than you need but scale instantly when required. Achieve your business goals while getting the most value from your investments.
Next, enable business anywhere. Be faster and bolder than your competition. Empower your employees to work anywhere and make decisions and win in real time.
Finally, tap your data goldmine. Leverage all the data you collect to its fullest to know your customers better, target the right opportunities, and win sales.
When you’re ahead of the game, you lead!
Innovation—or just hype?
Google Apps for Work can only offer narrow productivity experiences that hold you back and don’t fit your growing business. Google promotes its cloud services as leading edge, but missing workloads, limited flexibility, and data at risk undercut that claim.
Riskier for enterprise.
With Google Apps for Work, important security capabilities such as data loss prevention—and continuing support for management, maintenance, and security—are only available through third-party services with separate licenses and service level agreements. The Google business model depends heavily on advertising, and Google’s consumer privacy policy allows customer data to be scanned to provide targeted advertisements to users. Unless Enterprise users take additional steps to secure their user-data privacy by opting-in to a Data Processing Amendment (DPA) for Google Apps for Work, Google has the right to use their content to operate, promote, and improve its services, and to develop new ones.
One size does not fit all.
Google offers consumer-oriented productivity and business terms that aren’t suitable for the enterprise.
Google Apps for Work is only delivered as online services, so you have to move to the cloud all at once—ready or not—with only limited support, and virtually no flexibility to choose just the services you need.
Too narrow for enterprise.
Google Apps for Work’s approach to productivity is simply too narrow for the enterprise. Google does not support enterprise workloads such as business intelligence or enterprise content management, leaving customers to settle for third-party services and integration headaches.
