Editor's Notes

What other challenges can you think of? Work efficiently, as too much time is spent on routine tasks Build and maintain customer relationships before it becomes too difficult to respond to their needsCustomer information is stored all over the place Save time, and stay organizedOrganize e-mail and filter out spam quickly and easilyTrack all tasks, e-mail, and appointments more effectively Manage all customer information in one placeOrganize customer contact and communications in Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007 Manage business communications/e-mail
The Windows Essential Business Server software suite is a Microsoft server product that combines several key Microsoft technologies to meet the needs of typical midsize organizations. With Windows Essential Business Server, businesses benefit from the power and versatility of a multiserver, multicomputer network, and IT administrators enjoy significantly reduced installation time and complexity. Administrators can perform most of their daily operations tasks from a single integrated console. Administrators can also connect remotely to the Windows Essential Business Server Administration Console.Technology has always promised to solve problems, not create them. EBS 2008 enables midsize organizations to benefit from the power and versatility of a multiple-server network by offering features such as: Combining several Microsoft® Server products and technologies into a single, integrated solutionProviding planning toolsOptimizing the configuration of server applications and server rolesReducing the time IT administrators spend planning the network and installing and configuring applications
Main objective: Speak to solutions as powerful, full version Server Software with Security Technologies integrated and packaged in a way that meets the unique needs of SMB customers.Talking Points:What we’re announcing: We are introducing Windows Essential Server Solutions – a family of integrated server solutions designed to meet the unique needs of small and midsize businesses. These forthcoming products are the best way for SMBs to get Windows Server 2008 plus Microsoft’s server software and security technologies, at a discount compared to stand alone products2. Why we’re building solutions designed for SMBs: SMB customers have needs similar to enterprise (Big-company level reliability, management and security) but lack big company resources and personnel. Traditional infrastructure products are often too complex and assume a level of expertise that most SMBs do not have. To address these challenges, we are building solutions based on the our enterprise-class server technologies and integrating them in a way that simplifies our customers’ experience when using the software. 2. What we’re delivering:Our customers describe their day as fighting fires – reactive to IT issues and leaving little time to focus on innovation and growing the business. They are resource constrained – usually 1-3 full time IT professionals on staff to run IT (and in the case of many small businesses, no full time IT Staff person). We often hear, “I am IT in my company”. Windows Essential Server Solutions deliver the same, powerful servers that enterprise companies use, and we integrate them into an all in one solution that simplifies the initial set up and ongoing management – best practices are built in by default providing greater predictability. In addition to the integration to best practices, we have designed our solutions with unique features tailored to the needs of our customers that further simplifies the experience, such as a single administration console, remote access through Remote Web Workplace, single license for all included products - and Extensibility – the ability to monitor additional and 3rd party applications from the single console. (eliminates the need to log into multiple and disparate tools.3. What customers will get:The whole is greater than the sum of its parts…(The Operating System - WS, being the heart of the solution integrated with products that enable business productivity, improved security against threats, and a foundation to run 3rd party or business applications). ”All In One Solutions” give SMB customers a platform/or IT Foundation of core products to run a network infrastructure while improving efficiency and productivity and enabling them to grow their business capacity. Multiplying the capabilities of the individual server products to an optimized and simplified experience. Customers will get the server software they are familiar with while taking advantage of more of the component products rich functionality and receiving more value from our products.
