Right Sizing your software environment. CDW can help you ensure you are getting the most out of your Microsoft software by ensuring you are in the best program for your company and assisting your Software Management through SAM assessments. We can advise…
Microsoft software + services is designed to deliver the best of both software and services so customers can choose what makes the most sense for their business needs. A consistent user experience across delivery models allows companies to focus on user and business productivity rather than the deployment technology. A common architecture and data model across deployment methods enables companies to leverage their investment in skills, tools and solutions once , regardless of the deployment choices … rather than reinvesting in multiple tools and systems to support multiple deployment models. The flexibility of being able to mix and match deployment models enables companies to support their unique and specific business requirements, such as serving headquarters’ users through an on-premise deployment while using a hosted model for remote divisions or distributed operations. More importantly, the adaptability of being able to change deployment models at any time ensures that the system can meet the company’s changing business needs … as divisions are added, moved off-shore, acquisitions happen, etc.. This ability not only offers the benefits of both software and service, but it helps to mitigate the risks of getting locked into any single delivery method. Microsoft Dynamics CRM represents a prime example of how enterprises can leverage software plus services today: On premises - for ultimate control over application customization and data security Online - for “instant on” deployment speed Hybrid – Mix on-premise and hosted deployments, i.e. headquarters uses on-premise while remote offices use on-demand; or start with one and move to the other. Rich Clients – Microsoft understands the need to offer end-user experiences that span the user’s devices and modes of work.
What it is not… 1. The end of on-premise solutions. Microsoft’s goal is equal parity for on-premise and Online Servers. Partners will continue to provide hosted services. The goal is customer choice. 2. Exchange Hosted Services – 4 products – Filtering, Archive, Encryption, Continuity. Filtering is included and Continuity is redundant because of Microsoft’s SLA and DR with Exchange Online. Encryption and Archive are add-on sales opportunities. 3. A development platform. This will be provided by Azure. Possibly rolled into Microsoft Online Services in the future. 4. Thin-client solution 5. Office Online 6. End of company data privacy 7. More costly than an on-premise solution Microsoft is introducing “Online” services. Online services is a set of enterprise class software delivered as subscription services hosted by Microsoft and sold through partners. Our goals is to create a service option for every one of our business software products. The initial set of services we are offering focus on the business productivity capabilities that includes Exchange Online, Office SharePoint Online, Office Live Meeting, Office Communications Online, and Exchange Hosted Services. Exchange Hosted Services are attached services that include filtering, archiving, encryption and continuity. The Business Productivity Online Suite, shown here, includes Exchange Online, Office SharePoint Online, Office Communications Online, and Office Live Meeting. Office Communications Online is currently available as part of the dedicated offering and a multi-tenant offering of the service will be added in early 2009.
