The document discusses how information technology can help businesses through increased productivity, competitiveness, customer responsiveness, and business insights while lowering costs. It provides an example of Project Vikas in Tirupur, India which addressed bottlenecks in the external supply chain visibility and tracking of garment production using a web-based application. This integrated exporters and subcontractors, reduced the garment production cycle from 90 to 60 days, and is expected to further reduce cycle time. The document also notes Microsoft's hybrid model of providing both on-premise and hosted software and services options for small and medium businesses.

- The goal of Microsoft’s software-plus-services strategy is to empower customers and partners with richer applications, more choices, and greater opportunity through a combination of on-premise software, partner-hosted software, and Microsoft-hosted software. How software is consumed will ultimately be decided by customers based on their IT strategies and specific needs. We believe in the power of choice. If customers want to maintain control of their environment, they can choose to have an on-premise solution. If their business demands a more flexible solution, or needs to outsource certain aspects of the business, then customers have the choice of a hosted solution. We believe most customers will eventually choose a blend of solutions, both on-premise and hosted to create a ‘hybrid’ model. However, one thing is certain: Choice is always a good thing, and a software-plus-services strategy will help Microsoft partners and customers realize their full potential. "This newest pillar of Software-plus-Services is going to open up a whole new opportunity for existing partners to extend their business and a whole new opportunity for new partners to come along and create value in the marketplace." -- Kevin Turner, COO, Microsoft Additional Talking Points However, one thing is certain: Choice is always a good thing, and a software-plus-services strategy will help Microsoft partners and customers realize their full potential.
