How to Start a SaaS Business Without Knowing How to Programme | TeamWaveReshmi Menon
Many entrepreneurs have great ideas to start a SaaS Business and know ways to market and sell the product. But what they lack is the ability to build the product as they do not have the needed programming skills. But that must never stop one from pursuing their dream of starting a business if they are passionate about it.
There are multiple options available now and you don’t need to know how to programme to start a business. In this presentation, I talk about a few tried and tested methods which are used by non-technical founders.

SugarCRM Community vs Professional: 10 reasons why it makes sense to go Pro Loaded Technologies

Microsoft Global Marketing Operations Case StudyIDV Solutions
Microsoft's Global Marketing Operations group sought a solution that would help identify the best marketing opportunities amid a vast store of customer, partner, and market opportunity data. Using Visual Fusion from IDV Solutions, they replaced cumbersome methods of analysis with an intuitive, easy-to-use application that visualizes marketing opportunities geographically. The result is greater insight into their data, more productive use of staff time, and a powerful tool for focusing marketing efforts.

The Practice and Pitfalls of Running Social Media Promotions: Do You Know the Rules for Success?
Contests, promotions and games of chance are big on Twitter, Facebook and other social media channels. All of us have probably seen - or taken part in - a "Tweet this and win" contest, or Liked a Page for the opportunity to win big. Even I've won something on Twitter - GA Aquarium silly bands for my daughter.
We know promotions can work, but many of us are not 100% clear on the rules. So we're bringing in an expert to answer all of your questions. Join SMC Atlanta later this month as we host our first educational event of 2011: The Practice and Pitfalls of Running Social Media Promotions & Games of Chance.
Ben Ryder, manager of emerging technologies with the interactive promotions agency ePrize and member of Social Media Club Detroit, will share his expertise and insight; Brian Rudolph will moderate.

Cloud services are a reality for SMBs and they have specific needs when accessing the cloud. SMBs want to control their workspace, choose which applications to use; bring their own device (BYOD) and they require technology that enable their staff to work anywhere at any time.
The SMB working environment is becoming more productive and this has brought the need for improvements to flexibility, mobility and usability; SMBs are looking for enrichment of their cloud experience and prefer to purchase cloud applications from a single trusted vendor.
Currently cloud control panels are difficult to manage and lack focus on the end-user, not providing an enhanced user experience. These requirements are met with cloud applications and LuxCloud has the perfect solution to provision these services, automated and fast. When it comes to consuming cloud applications LuxCloud now has a unique product: Gateway4Cloud.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Editor's Notes
Preliminary remarks: This deck is for the use of Microsoft Sales Force for 1:1 or 1:many first high level discussion on the Government Performance Management Solution Area topic. It is targeted to Technical Decision Maker or Business Decision Maker discussions. A lot of materials are available in the back-up slides so that you can configure the presentation to your customer’s specific needs. This presentation will be regularly updated to integrate the latest market and product information. Make sure you use the latest version. Basic definition that you might want to explain to the customers: Solution Area: Microsoft’s approach for delivering on customer , partner , and analyst defined business needs in the market place, consisting of a configuration of Microsoft and/or partner technologies. Solution Areas are primarily sold and delivered through partners (ISV and SI), and serve to drive pull-through and adoption of the MS platform and infrastructure stack. All Solution Areas are delivered to market through Industry oriented sales and marketing motions. Cross-industry solution areas, which by definition land in multiple sectors and industries and offer economies of scale in build out and support, only land in the field and with customers through Industry motions. Solution: There is no official definition and we recommend that you bring as much clarity as possible when engaging a discussion around a specific solution. A solution can mean many different things: an application, a custom developed application, an ISV developed application, a functionality… In most of the cases Solutions are Partner led and based on Microsoft Technologies. Partner: We need to be clear that we go to Market thru and with Partners that develop applications with our technologies. We support this ecosystem of Partners thru various programs which are made available to the public (see details at https://partner.microsoft.com ). The solutions are usually owned, developed, deployed and maintained by partners.
Partners: SMB owners and decision makers are not moved by lofty, strategic benefits of IT solutions. They need to make the most of their limited budget and want practical solutions that increase revenue, reduce costs, and help their businesses run more efficiently and competitively today. “ We understand that now more than ever, you need to maximize employee productivity and business efficiency to reduce wasted time and expenses. You need to find new customers and deliver superior customer service while running lean. This means it is critical for you to increase team productivity, improve communications, and reduce IT-related incidents that can disrupt your focus and increase your expenses.”
