Slide purpose: Introduce that Office 365 is your complete office in the cloud
How to present this slide: Keep in mind that most people, when they hear “Office 365”, only hear “Office” and think “Word, PowerPoint, Excel”. And when they hear “cloud”, they think “web apps” only, thinking this is only a browser-based version of Office, similar to Google Apps. So it’s important to take your time and labor on these 2 points specifically. Transition from previous slide by saying, “We understand what technology you need to help you manage the business challenges you are facing. We are excited that there is a new offering in the market that has been designed specifically for you….”
Talk track
Introducing Office 365 Small Business Premium – this is an offering specifically designed for businesses with 1-10 users
First of all, Office 365 is a cloud-based productivity service hosted by Microsoft
It includes the latest version of the familiar Office applications (like Word, PowerPoint, Excel, that you currently run on your PC or laptop) that is always up to date
It also includes anywhere access to email, calendar, documents, and HD video conferencing that works seamlessly with the Office you know
And these are business-class productivity tools and enterprise-level security specifically designed for small businesses’ needs and price range
Because this is designed with small businesses in mind, it’s easy to set up and manage, without the need for IT experience.
Plus, since this is a cloud service, it is supported and backed by a 99.9% uptime guarantee service level agreement.
In contrast, some key business needs, such as Voice for PC to PC calling, Google Contacts, and Google Video, are not covered by the Google Apps for Business service level agreement (SLA).
What’s unique about Office 365 is that:
It works perfectly with the Office you know and use so you or your employees don’t have to learn a new tool or require additional training
It is designed to help you work seamlessly online or offline:
Say you are working on a proposal and want to get feedback from your partners or customers. You can start working on it on your own computer, then save to the cloud and share it securely with partners or customers for feedback. They can then access the documents and work on them with you online instead of emailing different versions back and forth. If you go offline, say when on a plane, you can still access the documents and work on them offline (using SkyDrive Pro), and Office 365 will automatically sync the document back to the cloud as soon as you have connections again.
These are all enterprise-class services – trusted by large corporations designed to give you the reliability and security you expect.
Coca-Cola Enterprises (72,000 employees), Starbucks, Campbell Soup, Hyatt Hotels (106,000 employees), the Department of Veterans Affairs (600,000 employees), Lowes (>200,000 employees), Hallmark (9,500 employees), Japan Airlines (20,000 employees), and Burger King (3,500 users).
We do not violate your privacy or confidentiality requirements by using scanning technologies to read your email for targeting advertising like Google does.
Let’s drill down now on the specifics of Office 365 to help you understand why it’s the right technology for your business. The first area we talked about is “anywhere access”….
Slide purpose: Explain how Office 365 is the right technology based on the challenges and pain points outlined in the previous slide.
How to present this slide: Transition from previous slide by saying, “Given all these challenges, what you are really looking for is technology that fits the needs of your business.” Use this slide to tee-up how technology can help with giving them anywhere access, looking professional, getting technology with IT expertise, and getting the best bang for their buck.
Talk track
Benefits of Anywhere Access:
Anywhere access is important because you want to have easy access to email, content, and business-ready tools to work on the devices you use already.
Even when you don’t have your devices, you want to be able to securely access your content and tools to do what you need to do
This is especially important when you are dealing with customer requests because you want to respond immediately and provide the best service
You also want to be able to create a sense of community even when not everyone comes to work in the same office everyday.
Benefits of Looking Professional:
You want technology that can help you level your playing field with the bigger players
Technology that can save you time by getting things done faster without the need for any professional help
Business tools that are built to work together out of the box to help you with email, creating documents, sharing documents, managing projects, and customer meetings
Benefits of Easy IT with no IT expertise required:
You want to reduce your IT headaches by reducing your IT
You want to be able to control access to sensitive documents without the need to be a security expert
You want to all the services to work with each other out of the box so you can work seamlessly with each other and with partners or customers
You need to have a business continuity plan when unfortunate events happen, such as a power outage, leakage, or natural disaster
You want IT-level phone support to be available when you need help
You want to secure all the mobile devices
Benefits of Best Value:
Every dollar counts. You want the best technology to support the growth of your business
But you also want to make sure you invest in technologies that have the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) but also the highest return in end-user productivity.
You want to have predictability of your IT cost each month and be able to easily scale up and down.
You want to simplify licensing, and one that supports the use of mobile devices at work
You don’t want to keep paying for IT maintenance costs to take care of your servers

Speaker Notes
Talking Points:
Microsoft Lync is about helping people connect, even when they are not physically present together. It’s about connecting people in new ways—anywhere, anytime.
Lync delivers a connected experience that can help to transform every communication into an interaction—one that is collaborative, engaging, and accessible from almost anywhere. A single interface unites voice; instant messaging (IM); and audio, video, and Web conferencing into a richer, more contextual offering. Plus, a single identity makes it easier and faster for users to find contacts, check their availability, and connect with them. Lync Server works consistently with Microsoft Office, enriching the experience of familiar applications like Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft Word, Microsoft SharePoint®, and more.
Value Propositions:
Drive adoption through ease of use and Microsoft Office:
Lync provides a consistent communications experience across all platforms. Features such as the Contact Card; click to communicate from Microsoft Word, Excel®, and PowerPoint®; and presence in SharePoint can help to link communications—no matter what applications are being used.
Reduce costs through converged communications:
Rolling an organization’s communication devices into one platform can reduce costs. With this approach, the communication workloads can be integrated with desktop applications, and audio, video, and Web conferencing can decrease third-party carrier spending.
Simplify deployment and migration through interoperability:
Broad interoperability through standards and documented protocols can smooth deployment for customers. IM, voice, conferencing, and SIP trunking services are combined into one system to connect customers with Lync sooner.
Instant Messaging
Presence
Presence is the ability to detect another user’s availability. Using Lync 2010 and Lync Online, users can display their presence status—for example, Available, Away, Do Not Disturb, or Offline—to let others know their availability for consultation.
Lync-to-Lync Audio and Video Calls
Using Lync 2010, Lync Online users can make 1-to-1 computer-based audio and video calls to other Lync users using a PC and a web camera. Conversation quality may vary depending on customer network performance. For the best experience, use a device that is optimized for Lync 2010.
File Transfer
The Lync Online service provides peer-to-peer file transfer capability so users can transfer large files as part of a Lync session without using email and clogging mail boxes.
Distribution Lists
Using Lync 2010, Lync Online users can add email distribution lists to their Contact Lists. Instant messages may be sent to individual members of a distribution list or the entire distribution list.
Distribution lists can be expanded to see the individual members of such lists.
IM Security
Microsoft has extensive experience in designing and operating a highly available instant messaging solution. One key component is the Intelligent Instant Message Filter (IIMF) built into Lync
Lync External Connectivity (Lync Federation)
Lync external connectivity (federation) enables a Lync Online user to connect with users in other organizations that use Lync Online as well as those that host their own Lync Server 2010 on premises. Federated contacts can see presence, communicate using IM and make Lync-to-Lync audio and video calls.
Online Meetings
Lync Online meetings enable users to connect from virtually anywhere through PC-based audio, video, and web conferencing—both as scheduled meetings and as ad-hoc collaboration sessions. With Lync Online, users can collaborate, share information, and work together in real time, all within context. Lync Online supports an integrated conferencing experience with a maximum meeting capacity of 250 users.
Know whether others are available to communicate: Repeatedly attempting to reach each other by phone or email is a common communication problem in today’s business world. Presence information is important when there is a need for a critical business discussion or a time-sensitive decision has to be made. Lync Online helps organizations increase individual productivity by adding presence, IM, and PC-to-PC audio and video calling to the business IT infrastructure.
Presence and click-to-communicate from Microsoft Office Outlook. Lync Online connects presence and real-time collaboration capabilities with the Microsoft Office Outlook messaging and collaboration client. This enables higher productivity by allowing workers to collaborate using the programs they’re already familiar with.
Connect with people and be more productive through a rich and immersive online meeting experience. Online meetings enable users to connect wherever they are through PC-based audio, video, and web conferencing, both as scheduled meetings and spontaneous, ad hoc collaboration sessions. With Lync Online, users can collaborate, share information, and coordinate their efforts in real time, all within the context of an existing workflow.
Collaborate within SharePoint sites. Lync Online serves as the presence engine for SharePoint team sites and portals, providing presence and IM access from within Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Server sites.
Communicate with other organizations running Lync. The federation feature of Lync Online establishes trusted relationships between an organization and one or more external organizations. This allows users to see user presence and communicate using IM and PC-based audio and video across organizational boundaries.
Communicate with Windows Live Messenger contacts. Lync Online enables your users to connect with Windows Live Messenger contacts using IM, audio and video calls directly from Lync.
Reduce costs. Lync Online facilitates rich and engaging communications across and outside an organization without expensive business travel or costly phone bills.
Speaker Notes
Speaker Notes
Slide Objective:
Provide a high level overview and timeline of which Lync capabilities are going to be available in the cloud (and when)
Talking Points:
Lync Online is the cloud version of the Lync, with Microsoft hosting the Lync servers and customers consume Lync as a service.
Lync Online is one component of the Office 365 suite of services, which also includes the 2010 versions of Exchange, SharePoint and Office.
This slide provides a comparison of the Lync Online capabilities with those of the Lync Server. Going from left to right, you can see that IM/presence and conferencing (online meetings) will be available at Office 365 launch in Lync Online.
Voice, which is essentially the ability to call the public phone networks (think dial tone in Lync), will become available in the cloud several months after Lync Online launches.
PBX replace capabilities, which include features that require integration with on-premises networks and equipment is not planned to be available in Lync Online in the next few years. This means that customers who are looking to take advantage of the full PBX replace capabilities in Lync Server 2010, are advised to deploy Lync Server on premises (for all of the Lync workloads – IM, conferencing and Enterprise voice). It should be noted that customers will still be able to deploy Exchange (and SharePoint) in the cloud including voice mail and have that work seamlessly with Lync Server 2010 on-premises.
In the next slides we will look at these features and deployment options in more detail.
Speaker Notes
Slide Objective:
Explain the features that are included in IM/Presence capability area
Talking Points:
The Instant messaging workload includes presence, pc-to-pc audio and video calling and the ability to search your company’s directory for a colleague name.
Key new features in Lync from previous versions are:
New client UX that includes: Contact photos that enable more personal connections with colleagues from different parts of the organization, Activity feed, for quickly following and updating your contacts within the organization and skill search, that allows to find people with specific expertise within the organization (this is based on SharePoint on-premises and is not supported with SharePoint Online)
PC-to-PC calls are supported across firewalls (not limited to the corporate network) – so users can be reached wherever they have their PC and an internet connection.
Easily communicate with Lync users outside of the organization with IM/audio/video federation with on-prem Lync deployments, as well as with other Lync Online tenants.
Users can communicate with Windows Live via presence and IM through federation as well.
Speaker Notes
Define what we mean by Voice (dial tone) and provide a high level overview of the planned availability of Voice in the cloud
Talking Points:
Voice refers to the ability to associate a phone number with Lync and make and receive calls from landlines and mobile numbers – this is why we also refer to it as ‘dial tone’.
In addition to making and receiving calls, ‘voice’ includes call control capabilities like forward and transfer and sim-ringing another number (for example your mobile phone).
Voice mail access to Exchange UM is another important feature that is included here.
The actual phone numbers and calling plans (minutes) are provided via a separate service from a Telco partner. This will be similar to how PSTN audio conferencing works in Lync Online.
Speaker Notes
Slide Objective:
Define the capabilities that are included in the PBX replace capability area and explain the choices that customers have with respect to Lync and the cloud if they require these capabilities
Talking Points:
PBX replace features typically have strong ties to the customer premises and are therefore not planned to be available in the cloud in the W14 timeframe.
The features fall into the following categories:
they require equipment on the customer premises – examples are Branch office appliance and analog devices
They require integration with on-premises equipment or networks – examples are automatic E-911, call admission control, RCC and direct trunks with legacy PBXs
They are specialized telephony capabilities that are primarily used in call center scenarios – examples are call park and hunt groups
PBX replace capabilities in Lync Server 2010 are new investments that are important to customers who are looking to enhance or retire legacy telephony systems. Since we do not support splitting Lync workloads (for example, IM in the cloud and voice on-premises), these customers should deploy Lync Server On-premises for all Lync workloads. Lync Server integrates with Exchange Online for voice mail with no need for additional gateways or hardware. This means that customers can have the best of both worlds, with Lync Server on premises (including PBX replace) and Exchange Online in the cloud (including Unified Messaging).
‘Lync split domain’ is another important future capability that planned for Q4CY2011. This will enable an organization to split groups of Lync users between an on-premises and Lync Online in the cloud. A typical scenario would be to have an on-premises Lync deployment for a central office location but deploy branch offices in Lync Online and the cloud. This would provide with IT managers with the maximum flexibility to segment their users and optimize their Lync investments and deployment models according to their needs.
See Meeting Room Devices for additional information and work with your account team for the latest list of Lync Online qualified devices.
See System Requirements for Lync for Mac 2011 for minimum hardware and software requirements.

It works perfectly with the Office you know and use so you or your employees don’t have to learn a new tool or require additional training
It is designed to help you work seamlessly online or offline:
Say you are working on a proposal and want to get feedback from your partners or customers. You can start working on it on your own computer, then save to the cloud and share it securely with partners or customers for feedback. They can then access the documents and work on them with you online instead of emailing different versions back and forth. If you go offline, say when on a plane, you can still access the documents and work on them offline (using SkyDrive Pro), and Office 365 will automatically sync the document back to the cloud as soon as you have connections again.
These are all enterprise-class services – trusted by large corporations designed to give you the reliability and security you expect.

Slide purpose: Introduce that Office 365 is your complete office in the cloud
How to present this slide: Keep in mind that most people, when they hear “Office 365”, only hear “Office” and think “Word, PowerPoint, Excel”. And when they hear “cloud”, they think “web apps” only, thinking this is only a browser-based version of Office, similar to Google Apps. So it’s important to take your time and labor on these 2 points specifically. Transition from previous slide by saying, “We understand what technology you need to help you manage the business challenges you are facing. We are excited that there is a new offering in the market that has been designed specifically for you….”

Speaker Notes
Domain Names
To begin, you must configure your DNS for Lync Online. You do this when you configured Lync Online. Configuring your DNS is well documented in the online help see Set up your network for Lync Online
. It is possible, however, to overlook the fact that DNS entries must be configured before audio conferencing integration is added.
The first entries are CNAME records that clients use to find Lync Online when the user’s SIP address is entered into Lync.
The other two are SRV records that are required to get the integration between Lync Online and the audio conferencing provider to work.
You can see my DNS entries for these in my online DNS provider’s interface:
After DNS is up and running, you can integrate Lync Online dial-in conferencing.

Federation and Public IM Connectivity: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn194473.aspx
Speaker Notes
To configure Public IM connectivity
If you want to enable public IM connectivity, make sure you have set up domain federation. Disabling federation also disables public IM connectivity. For details, see Configure federation with external domains.
In the Lync Online Control Panel, click External communications.
Under Public IM services providers, note the current value of Public IM connectivity mode.
Click Enable or Disable as appropriate, and then click Yes.
Speaker Notes
Domain Federation – this lets the Lync Online domain communicate with other Lync-enabled domains. These can be regular on-premise Lync environments, or other Lync Online enabled environments. Crucially, the partner you want to federate with either has to have an open federation, or they need to add you as a federation partner. The default setting for domain federation is closed, which means that you have to add every new domain as a federation partner. Of course, it’s also possible to opt for you domain federation to be open, so that everybody can freely federate through the Lync Online environment. That might sound a bit careless but, if needed, certain domains can be blocked from federation.
Speaker Notes
Your conferencing provider will add the correct dial-in numbers, conference codes, and personal identification numbers and return the file to you. Go to the Lync Online Control Panel and import the file. After import, these users are able to schedule audio conference calls integrated with Lync Online meetings.
