2. What does
my marijuana
business need?
We want to start using the
cloud to our advantage – and
save money along the way.
We need anywhere and anytime
access to files and business
tools to serve our customers
and stay competitive.
Our team
works from
many locations.
We need to stay
connected no
matter what.
Our data has to be secure. I need
to know my company is protected
from viruses, malware, theft, etc.
We need to stop spending on soon-to-be-
obsolete technology. We need solutions
that evolve with us.
Zero downtime
is a must.
We need modern
solutions that help
us collaborate and
get work done
more efficiently.
We have customers
statewide. We need
better tools to
stay connected.

Hinweis der Redaktion
As a marijuana business, you have an unique set of needs to service customers, grow your business, and remain competitive. These issues pertain to applications, connectivity, IT infrastructure and mobility.
Some of the comments you see are typical ones we hear from our SMB customers and probably familiar to you in some shape or form.
Green IT and Microsoft offer subscription based business solutions designed to address your business goals and challenges across four key areas:
Grow efficiently – use technology to reduce costs and be a real enabler of business growth.
Do business anywhere – get the benefits of a productive mobile team that can work together wherever they are.
Safeguard your business – keep your data protected and be prepared for the unexpected, so you know your business never misses a beat.
Connect with customers – get the competitive advantage of really understanding your customers and making meaningful connections to build long-term relationships.
You face many challenges to deliver your best work and attract new customers. One of the largest overall challenges concerns helping customers grow and adapt to changing business environments – and at the same time improve efficiency and get the most out of your IT investments.
Some of the specific issues we see in relation to this include the following:
Budget spend on soon-to-be-obsolete technology that can’t evolve with your business
Staying competitive
Limited IT budgets
Unpredictable costs
Lacking scalability
Lacking service support
When we say growing efficiently, we mean investing in what’s next for you and your business. Office 365 offers the power of the cloud, the latest business tools, and low up-front costs, to keep you competitive today and prepared for tomorrow.
Staying competitive requires keeping your edge and pushing boundaries. With regular automatic updates and cloud management, Office 365 keeps you current and focused on doing your best work.
Expand your business, not your budget. As your business changes, so can Green IT and Office 365, helping you quickly adapt and grow without the additional hassle or high costs of traditional infrastructure and software.

Focus IT efforts on strategic initiatives and let Microsoft handle routine maintenance and security patching
Save time and effort with regular updates and a faster setup and deployment process
One of the keys to improving productivity is to enable mobile and remote scenarios.
Some of the common challenges for achieving this include the following:
Inability to stay connected when on the go
Inability to access work when offsite
Versioning issues
Poor collaboration that impacts decision making and getting work done
Difficulty moving between devices
With Microsoft, you can offer a range of solutions that help employees and teams get their work done anywhere, on any device.
Business anywhere means literally bringing your office with you everywhere you go. With Office 365, easy access on any device, a complete set of business-ready tools, and new collaboration features simplify teamwork and getting more done.
New opportunities can come from anywhere. Be prepared to capture what’s next with Office 365. With the ability to work from virtually any location, you’re just a few simple clicks away from accessing your data, holding meetings, and collaborating anytime, on any device. Office 365 provides a complete productivity experience for moving your business forward.
Work on your terms. With Office 365, getting to the office is as simple as turning on your device. Designed to fit any work style, preference, and form factor, Office 365 delivers the tools, features, and functionality you need to get more work done anywhere.
Be more productive across laptops, tablets, and smartphones
Work within one consistent, device optimized experience
Install the full Office desktop apps on up to 5 PCs/Macs and 5 mobile devices
Meet all working styles with an intuitive touch and mobile experience across smartphones and tablets
Office 365 includes the latest version of all the familiar Office applications – including Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and more – for each user to install and use on up to 5 PCs or Macs. These fully-featured, rich client Office apps install and stay on your machines so you can use them online or offline, the same way you have used Office in the past.
But Office 365 is not just about the desktop. We certainly know that work is happening anywhere on all types of devices, and we have worked to build Office apps that are optimized for tablets and smartphones to make sure we empower great mobile experiences.
For a list of all the Office Mobile and Office 365 applications available on each device, visit: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/
For Tablets
As of March 27th, Office Mobile (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) is available for iPad. The apps have the robust capabilities and familiar look and feel that is unmistakably Office, while offering a fantastic touch experience built from the ground up for iPad. When you edit a document on the iPad, you can be sure that you won’t lose any content or formatting. Simply log in with a qualifying Office 365 subscription, you can view, edit and create new documents with the iPad. iPad continues to have Lync and OneNote Mobile apps, as well as OWA for iPad and OneDrive for Business.
For Windows RT tablets, you can run the traditional Office suite of desktop apps (Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Lync and OneNote). On these touch-enabled devices, you can switch the apps to touch-mode and the interface changes slightly to optimize for touching with your fingers rather than a mouse pointer. You also have the option to run Lync Mobile and OneNote Mobile apps that are built to run natively on Windows 8.
(Note: the Office applications on Windows RT come pre-installed and lack some features of the full Office suite. Learn more here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/home-and-student/office-2013-rt-office-for-windows-tablet-devices-FX103278460.aspx).
For Smartphones
Windows Phone has always supported Office Mobile, which allows you to open or edit files in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and take notes in OneNote, view and respond to mail with Outlook and participate in online meetings using Lync Mobile. Other apps include OneDrive for Business (built into Office Mobile), Yammer and SharePoint Newsfeed.
Office Mobile is also available for iPhone and Android phones at no additional charge for Office 365 subscribers, along with Lync Mobile and OneNote Mobile Similar to Office Mobile on Windows Phone, Office Mobile for iPhone and Android phones offers great Office content viewing and on-the-go content editing capabilities for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. We have also released OWA for iPhone to offer users the same email, calendar and contact functionality you get in Outlook Web App in the browser.
And of course, with all these devices, you can always log in to your Office 365 account from any browser and use Office Online in the browser, as well as check emails and your calendar, see all your contacts and more.
Access your documents anywhere. Online or off, Office 365 helps you quickly and easily reach, edit, and manage your most important files from any device. As you work, Office 365 automatically updates or syncs when you go back online, so you can stay current and connected, in or out of the office.
Sync files to your devices using OneDrive for Business for offline access and automatically re-sync edits
Automatically save and backup files to the cloud
With OneDrive for Business:
Your documents are saved in the cloud. You can sync these files to your laptop or mobile devices so you can still access and work on them when you are offline. It will automatically re-sync it back to the cloud when you have your connection back.
By saved to the cloud, we mean saved by default so they are automatically backed up. You now have a “drive” in the cloud called OneDrive for Business, for documents that you are managing and working on but can also share with others.
When you sign into Office 365 from any device or browser, you will always have the latest version of your documents follow you.
Connect to your office from anywhere. With Office 365, accessibility no longer requires you to carry your device. That’s because you can step into Office and reconnect from any web browser or device.
Utilize a complete web-based solution that includes Office and Outlook
Transition seamlessly between desktop and web-based applications
Quickly access, manage and edit all your documents online
So what about when you don’t have your devices with you? With Office 365, accessibility no longer requires you to carry your device. That’s because you can step into Office and reconnect from any web browser or device.
Because Office 365 is a cloud-service, you can now get to everything you need to run your business from any browser, even if you don’t have your devices with you.
When you go to office.com and login with your Office 365 account, you get to this view which gives you Outlook Web App, your calendar, and ability to join online meetings right from the browser, all your contacts and their presence (so you have mouse over and send an IM), the sites you are following, and all the documents you have saved in the cloud, including a list of all recent documents. And when you click on any of the documents, you’ll be able to open and make edits to the documents right in the browser using Office Online.
[Click]
Office Online are now improved to provide you with a great experience in your web browser so you can create new documents or edit using your favorite browser.
[Click]
With the new and improved Office Online, you get more of the same ribbon experience that you are familiar with in the rich application. And more options will be added as we continue to improve in the upcoming releases.
Discover and showcase your best work. Office 365 has the tools you need to deliver your best work with new and innovative features throughout each application

Just because you aren’t in the same room doesn’t mean you’re not part of the same team. That’s because Office 365 gives you anywhere, anytime access to your work and team, helping you stay productive and in sync wherever the day takes you.
Build bonds with real connections. Don’t let distance impact your work. With Office 365 you can connect with just a few simple clicks and share in real-time to work together online and off.
Join meetings with one click from your preferred mobile device
View the presenter's shared screen or PowerPoint slides
Communicate with clear audio and HD video
Connect in new ways with real-time white-boarding, Q&A, and polling
Bring the team together. With Office 365, you can spend more time solving the problems that matter than finding times to connect. Easy access to calendars and meetings keeps you up-to-date, ready to act and in short reach of your team.
Quickly set up or join meetings from any device
Connect with HD video conferencing to reduce travel time and costs
Check calendars and schedule Lync meetings in a few clicks through Outlook
Stay current by instantly viewing contacts’ online statuses
With Lync Online in Office 365, whether you are remote or travelling, you can meet with your colleagues or customers whenever, and wherever.
Because Lync is an integrated service, part of Office 365, you can see your people’s presence whether you are in an Office file, Outlook, or team share. Which means you can right-click on their names and start an IM. From there, with one-click, you can escalate to a voice or video call, pull more people in and even make it into a conference call, without having to leave the IM window.
Also, because it’s an integrated service, part of Office 365, you can share calendars from Outlook and easily find the best time to schedule meetings and with one click, add online meeting too.
To join a call, it’s one-click from Outlook or one-click from your smart phone using Lync Mobile (available on Windows Phone, iPhone, and Android). No more dialing a conference center and then typing in the passcode.
When you join the online meeting, you can [click] easily add multiparty high-definition video so it feels like everyone is in the same room. Plus, with the ability to share your screen, may it be a specific document, presentation or your entire desktop, users can convey their point clearly to the audience of the meeting. You can also turn on digital whiteboard, shared note-taking, and ability to record the meeting (which includes audio and content).
Unlock your business’s full potential. Office 365 connects your entire organization, bringing together the right people and ideas on a single and secure platform to foster communities and open conversations.
