Editor's Notes

  • #2 <Note to speaker: insert your company logo in the space provided on the left above the presentation title. Add your name to the “presenter name” space.>
  • #3 <Note to speaker: customize this agenda to fit your presentation if you are removing slide 6, 7, and/or 8 or if you are adding slides for solutions your company offers. For instance, if you intend to focus only on the advantages of moving to the cloud, you should update this agenda to substitute “Flexible IT” instead of “Key benefits” Or, if you have a non-Microsoft solution that you plan to discuss, you could add that to the agenda as a topic. Once you’ve customized the slide, you should also adjust the speaking points to match the updates to the agenda.> Good morning/good afternoon. I’m (your name) from (your company). Thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet with you today. As we get started, I’d like to give you a quick overview of what we’re going to be discussing. We’ll begin with the big picture – the opportunity that technology presents to business today. Next we’ll take a look at the four solutions Microsoft has developed to take advantage of the digital opportunity. Then, we’ll zero in on the solution that I think can make the biggest difference to your business, “Drive Efficiency,” and discuss the impact we could make on your business. Finally, we’ll talk about where we go from here.
  • #4 <Note to speaker, this slide does not need to be customized.> Technology is increasingly central to everything. Data volumes continue to rise. Ever-more-sophisticated data analysis enhances our ability to translate data into insights. Access to digital services plays an increasing role in everything we do. And the ubiquity of technology provides you the opportunity to grow, adapt, and evolve to meet the changing needs of your customers and the new business opportunities of tomorrow by thinking and operating like a digital company. Technology is transforming industry after industry. And technology is not just adding capability, but it's also changing business models and ways of doing business. Businesses need to change to survive – to develop new capabilities by transforming themselves into digital companies with systems of intelligence that leverage every system, device, process and asset across the organization. But I think you’ll agree that technology is only useful if it empowers you – if it helps your business engage customers, empower employees, optimize operations, or reinvent products and business models. As these data points demonstrate, midsized businesses like yours have identified particular challenges in implementing new solutions and containing technology costs. They also agree that cloud solutions are a way to help their business grow and named technology as the way to help improve business outcomes or run the business better. Sources: 34% increase in financial losses ($2.7M) reported by businesses in 2014 due to security incidents (PWC, “Global State of Information Security Survey: 2015.” http://aka.ms/pwc-cybercrime   For medium businesses, implementing new solutions or upgrades and containing technology costs are the top two technology challenges. http://tech4businessnow.com/connecting-your-smb-to-the-internet-of-things/: Connecting Your SMB to the Internet of Things   87% of midmarket business decision makers said cloud solutions would help the business grow.

  • #5 DT for MM introduction Microsoft offers business solutions designed to address your business goals and challenges across four key areas: Boost productivity, the topic for today’s conversation about Microsoft solutions– definition And the other three areas: Increase customer engagement– definition Drive efficiency– definition Innovate with agility – definition <add intro statement to transition to key benefits> Boost productivity by designing a workplace that securely supports mobile teamwork and flexible workstyles to improve employee experiences.
  • #6 <Note to speaker: to tailor this slide, please remove any of the benefits that are not relevant to the priority solutions your company is selling. As needed, adjust the language within the three benefits to reflect your priority solutions. Ideally you would showcase your unique solutions that showcase your differentiated value as a technology partner. You will also want to adjust the speaking points to mirror your updates to the slide.> We’ve talked about how technology is the backbone of a successful business. That sounds simple enough, but is your current technology providing you with the right foundation for success? Outdated or obsolete IT can limit a businesses’ ability to address key challenges and opportunities. If legacy technology is standing in your way, how can you get more out of your existing investments and acquire the other capacities you need, without breaking the bank? How are you keeping up with ever-increasing amounts of data? Are there ways that technology could automate or simplify your business processes? Can you get your business up and running again in the event of an emergency or business disruption? When it comes to driving maximum business efficiency, Microsoft technologies can support your business in three specific ways: Flexible IT. The cloud provides an agile technology foundation, built to meet your specific business requirements in today’s always-evolving digital world. With the right cloud solution, you can reduce the complexity and cost of IT. And, with Microsoft, you can choose to move completely to the cloud or to mix on premises and cloud solutions, retaining the value of your current technology investments. Optimized business processes. You can streamline your most common processes, and automatically connect and exchange information across formerly isolated business processes. Your staff can start using their devices more quickly and safely access data from anywhere, meaning they can work more efficiently. Business continuity and security. You can protect your business data from modern security threats such as cyberattacks or stolen devices. You can also safeguard against unexpected interruptions and get back online quickly when needed. In other words, Microsoft technology can help you get the most out of your technology, streamline business processes, and diminish business interruptions.

  • #10 <Note to speaker: to tailor this slide, please update the three benefits below the colored circles to mirror any changes you have made on slide 6. Once customized, this slide should have the same three benefits as those listed on slide 6. You can modify the specific product mentions to reflect priority products you are selling. If you change the benefits, please update the speaker notes to match your changes.> To sum up, Microsoft’s intelligent and secure cloud solutions enable you to drive business success. What can that mean for you? Flexible IT: You can reduce the complexity and cost of IT and get more out of your existing technology investments. Optimized business processes: You can automate processes and quickly equip employees with the apps, services, and new devices they need. Business continuity and security: You can limit business interruptions and get back online after an emergency or disaster, and restore data in case of a failure or accident. You can optimize operations, accelerate responsiveness, reduce costs, and drive maximum efficiencies across your business, all thanks to flexible, intelligent solutions from Microsoft. Plus, stay a step ahead of your competitors and customers, and ensure you have the business platform in place to support growth, now and into the future.
  • #11 <Note to speaker, this slide does not need to be customized.> I’ve mentioned cloud solutions repeatedly today, as the cloud is truly foundational to running an optimized and efficient business. But why should you choose Microsoft? There’s no doubt that you should choose your technology partner carefully. You want and need a partner who provides the capabilities you need, but also has an approach that truly empowers your business and deserves your trust. That’s why I urge you to give serious consideration to Microsoft, especially Microsoft cloud. With its options for moving completely to the cloud or choosing a “hybrid” solution that combines on-premises and cloud solutions, Microsoft unique enables you to transform your business in the way that best fits your needs. Not all clouds are created equal. Companies need stability and longevity as much as they need breadth or depth of technical capabilities, and they require solutions that will grow as their needs grow. Application innovation: With Azure, customers benefit from a comprehensive application platform with deeply integrated services including infrastructure, data services, advanced analytics, and developer tools and services, all provided within a consistent portal experience. Data and intelligence Big data capabilities within Azure allow an organization to take traditional sources of data and combine them with new dynamic sources, like user sign-ins, social data, or large sets of public data. Azure provides the capabilities to analyze these data sources and gain insights into customers like never before. Azure also provides machine learning capabilities that allow companies to apply learning models to data that previously would have required a heavy on-premises investment. Openness and flexibility With Azure, Microsoft provides an open and flexible cloud platform where you can build freely and deploy anywhere. Azure provides a comprehensive suite of hybrid cloud capabilities that allow you to extend the value of your existing applications. Supporting customers across non-Microsoft technologies is important because the technology landscape changes quickly, as different tools and frameworks continuously emerge to build new and different solutions. Trust The scale at which Microsoft operates the Azure platform enables investments in security that surpass what most organizations could afford on their own. The result is a net improvement in overall security position for organizations that trust the cloud. The Microsoft approach with Azure is to implement strict processes and practices to secure the platform, and also to empower customers to protect themselves and make informed choices about where they put their data and applications. Microsoft brings decades of relentless business commitment to customers and works aggressively to earn certifications for compliance in the industries and geographic regions that are important to customers.
  • #12 <Note to presenter: Use this slide to suggest appropriate next steps, such as an assessment of business needs. Communicate what you want the audience or potential customer to do next. Be specific and thoughtful and make it as easy as possible for the customer to say “yes.” To customize the slide, include company logo, specific customer calls-to-action (CTAs) such as the examples shown here. Replace the copy here so that you line up your CTAs with the arrows. Remove unused arrows.> Let’s talk about what’s next for you on your path to greater business efficiencies. <Note to speaker: add your comments to this introduction to discuss the next steps you’ve listed on the slide.>
