Why Choose Office365 Discard free Cloud tool

Absrtact: Microsoft has launched the Business cloud service since its livemeeting meeting product, recently also launched the BPOs cloud server. LiveMeeting is convenient to use, but BPOs is not. At the same time, Google's free and paid version of the application is easier to develop and manage, while free tools such as Google Docs provide a more easily cooperative platform, which has become popular with business users.

Gordon Frazer, Microsoft's British district management director, and Vice president of Office Lync and speech, Gurdeep Singh Pall (hereinafter referred to as GSP), conducted a detailed analysis of Microsoft's competition plan.

Small companies have started using free services, how to persuade them to switch to Office 365 services?

GF: Small business users can be found to use free mail services such as Hotmail and Gmail. But once they have to use the Basic mail Service for document sharing, branding, and so on, they need to pay. These emails and SharePoint functions that businesses use are far more powerful than free services can provide.

GSP: Features such as Lync Online are not available free of charge, and users need to pay high fees separately to Citrix or WebEx, which is available in Office 365 packages.

So who can connect with Lync Online, how to connect business customers, suppliers, collaborators, etc.?

Gsp:office 365 is shared by default with the Windows Live Messenger cloud and the AOL Cloud, along with other companies that use Lync, and Microsoft has signed alliances with 2000 companies. We support 2 types of alliances, open alliances mainly refer to companies that do not distinguish between whitelist or blacklist, as long as the URL, Lync automatically establish a connection with other Lync servers, of course, users can also define their own blacklist and whitelist. The security-high secure connection does not support the lower version of the Lync.

Do you need to provide all the digital certificates?

Gsp:office 365 The default certificate is a necessary part of the processing terms, regardless of whether you are using Exchange, Lync Online or federation, we will issue certificates, users need not worry.

When will a support video upgrade be released?

GSP: The video feature via Lync Online will soon be released and we are already moving forward. At present, with operators O2 cooperation, in addition to other operators to negotiate. Video will become an integrated feature that can be used as a business user to get voice mail with a phone number. At the same time, we believe that Skype is a complementary service for Lync, and once finalized we will announce it in time.

How will Office 365 remain updated?

GSP: The update is mainly in two steps, does not affect the end customer, fill the hole or add new performance will not directly reflected in the interface. When a large version of the update is needed, we think that big companies want to have control. For example, Martha's group (Marks & Spencer) would not like to hear us say on Christmas Eve that the update will be made, and that the updates to them are going to take place after the important sales season, which is now accepted by consumer feedback.

If the customer indicates that there is no objection to the update time, it can be done at any time, so we will update it as soon as possible. Historically, we have generally made major updates after 2-3 years, but we will be able to achieve a balance with the consumer according to the circumstances.

For livemeeting, we have tens of thousands of customers, service based on tasks, and sometimes desktop conferencing. Over the past few years, we have been learning what useful, what is useless, now also summed up the learning skills, the key is to be flexible, let consumers make their own choices.

Microsoft collaborators have been providing servers for small businesses, and are cloud services such as Office 365 affecting them?

GF: In small companies, service providers provide basic IT infrastructure services, and there is now a need for change, possibly in the form of emergency changes to cloud or Office 365. Some partners need to provide additional services, such as users who install Exchange servers will have corresponding e-mail accounts, and they will stick to it, and we are also trying to get them to switch to Office 365.

Take traditional SharePoint Partners as an example, after installing SharePoint, they think the biggest selling point of their services is customization, not infrastructure. Entry-level costs are low, reducing overall costs. Office 365 is not used by everyone, and there are other features. The partners ' computing system, CRM systems, business applications, and so on, need to be integrated with Office 365 and Azure for other cloud services.

GSP: Once the integration is complete, these interfaces can be provided by independent software vendors to small business customers, which were previously not in business. These services are transferred from midsize business customers to small customers, and service values are shifted accordingly.

What can small business customers get from it?

Gsp:office back-end servers turned out to be for large enterprise users only, and today these enterprise-level services are opening up for small business users. This skips the difference between enterprise levels because the product update itself takes time and has a time lag problem.

GF: This is still a training process, so that consumers really appreciate the cloud in the Desktop + services, in the end what is "better integration." The British test results show that there is a big demand and that Britain is the second largest user country after the United States. Our Office 365 subscription plan does not require office, and certainly better, and current test results show that consumers trust the Office brand and also support Office 365.
