Hinweis der Redaktion
Slide purpose: Use this slide to welcome your guests and to set their expectations for the presentation.
Presentation purpose: This presentation is designed to help you introduce Office to midsize businesses (~25-250 users). This starts with business pains, then goes into how Office 365 can solve those pains, then recommends Business Premium at the end of the presentation.
Your goal as presenter is to achieve the following:
Introduce yourself and demonstrate the value you can bring to the customer.
Highlight the solution and scenarios of Office 365
Show that you are someone who can discuss Office 365 solutions knowledgeably.
How to present this slide: Leverage the content below to explain what the audience can expect from the presentation.
What can customers get from this presentation?
Learn about the features and benefits of Office 365 and the cloud.
Get immediate feedback on their questions and concerns about moving to Office 365 and/or the cloud.
Talk to someone who understands IT and specific business needs.
Get directions about taking action and next steps.
Slide purpose: Introduce that Office 365 is your complete office in the cloud
How to present this slide: Keep in mind that most people, when they hear “Office 365”, only hear “Office” and think “Word, PowerPoint, Excel”. And when they hear “cloud”, they think “browser-based applications” only, thinking this is only a browser-based version of Office, similar to Google Apps. So it’s important to take your time and labor on these 2 points specifically. Transition from previous slide by saying, “We understand what technology you need to help you manage the business challenges you are facing. We are excited that there is a new offering in the market that has been designed specifically for you….”
Talk track
Office 365 is your complete office in the cloud.
When we say “complete office”, first of all, we mean the Office apps that you know and love – Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, etc. With Office 365, you get these same apps as you have always used them, as desktop apps. The difference is, you are now subscribing to Office. Which means, you will always get the latest version of these Office apps on your desktop, whether you are online or offline. In addition to desktop apps, you also get Office Mobile on your smart phones for viewing and editing on the go. As part of our continuous commitment in improving the services, we just announced in June/July 2013 that we are now supporting Office Mobile for both iPhones and Android phones. For any other devices, or when you don’t have your devices with you, you still have Office Online which allows you to open and edit documents and emails in any browser.
But that’s not all, there’s so much more you get with Office 365. You get Office, [click] plus all these services and benefits. You get cloud-based productivity services hosted by Microsoft, including business-class email, file sharing, HD video conferencing, all working together and connected to Office so you have anywhere access to everything you need to run your business. And these are all enterprise-level services optimized for smaller businesses, so it’s easy to set up and manage, with a financially-backed SLA and 24/7 technical phone support for critical issues.
Office 365 is your complete office in the cloud and the best way to acquire the new Office.
Why did we build Office 365?
We are continuously soliciting feedback from our customers. Here are some of the top requests about IT infrastructure and productivity tools we heard that led us to building Office 365.
Slide purpose: Explain how Office 365 is the right technology based on the challenges and pain points outlined in the previous slide.
How to present this slide: Transition from previous slide by saying, “Given all these challenges, what you are really looking for is technology that fits the needs of your business.” Use this slide to tee-up how technology can help them be more productive anywhere, work better together, protect what matters and build for tomorrow. Use this slide as an overview to tee up the conversation, then move to the following slides to land the detail.
Modernize your productivity and workforce with Office 365. Access your data and work efficiently from any device, anywhere and anytime. Let’s explore how Office 365 can help you with this…
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 2014, 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.
There is no use for Office on all your devices if you can’t get to your documents.
With Office 365, your documents are saved to the cloud 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 your documents are saved in the cloud, you can also 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.
Because everything is saved to the cloud, when you sign into Office 365 from any device or browser, you will always have the latest version of your documents follow you.
So what about when you don’t have your devices with you?
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.
There are new features in each of the Office 2013 apps to help you create amazing documents in less time than ever before. Here are a few of my favorites:
(Please note these are all new 2013 features. If the customer has been using Office 2003 or 2007, you might want to highlight some additional features like conditional formatting in Excel, easy to add rich media in Word, and PowerPoint including video editing capabilities.)
When you select a table in Excel 2013, it will take the data and dynamically generate different charts using your data to quickly preview for you what they will look like, without committing to them. It will do the same for you for PivotTable too – which is something very useful but not the easiest to create from scratch.
You can now easily re-use content from a PDF by opening it right from Word 2013.
In PowerPoint 2013, when you are moving text boxes or shapes around, alignment guides will appear automatically to help you align and snap into place so it’s much easier to create professional-looking slides. You can also use the Eyedropper to pick out any color.
All Office apps now include many more professional-looking templates for you to choose from so you can get things done faster without starting from scratch.
Connect employees, partners, and customer with Office 365. Engage, collaborate and work better together with new communication and collaboration tools and features.
Let’s dive into some of the great functionality available in Office 365 to enable everybody to work better together. [Click]
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).
Office 365 includes business-class email and calendaring so you can use your own domain name as your business address, which works natively with Outlook.
Each user has a 50GB mailboxes with industry’s best spam and malware protection.
The latest Outlook connects with social networks like Facebook and LinkedIn so you can see your contacts updates from within the contact card.
In addition to making it easy to share documents and emails with a pre-set team structure, you likely also need to do ad-hoc sharing internally or with external partners or customers.
With OneDrive for Business, or any other document library within SharePoint Online, you can easily share documents from the preview pane. This preview pane helps ensure it is the right file you want to share.
[Click]
Or, you can also easily share documents from within each of the Office applications by clicking share.
When others access the files from the link you share, they can co-edit the file with you in real time. And when there are comments, you can now reply within comments to make it easier to review all the conversations within the documents.
Working collaboratively on documents with coworkers, customer and partners is necessary to being an agile business and getting work done quickly.
Office Online, the browser based version of our Office applications, allow users to collaborate on a cloud-saved document using real-time co-authoring. This means everyone can contribute and edit documents simultaneously in the Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote Online. Real-time presence helps you see where your co-authors are working in the document so that you don’t create conflicts as you edit. Additionally, the ability to see changes to text and formatting as they happen will help you and your co-authors stay on the same page as your ideas develop and evolve.
Users working in the Office desktop applications can collaborate too.
Protect what matters most with Office 365. Secure your data and business with enterprise-grade protection and business continuity. Know your files are securely backed up and can recovered and accessed anywhere.
Here are the different ways of how Office 365 can help you “Protect what matters.”
IT admins can setup anti-malware and anti-spam policies for the entire organization with just a few clicks.
Mobile devices are making your users’ lives easier but making it harder for IT to manage. [Click] Now you can enable mobile access and set up mobile access policies for users from the same admin console.
You can also remotely wipe data from lost devices within the same console.
Business continuity
With Office 365, you have Microsoft as your extended IT department. There are no issues with downtime due to hardware or software updates. Updates are delivered automatically to all Office 365 subscribers. To help protect against data center–wide or localized network failures, Office 365 delivers continuous data backup to geo-redundant servers to protect against failures, loss, accidental deletion, or corruption. As for the data centers:
Microsoft data centers are built from the ground up to be environmentally sustainable
Locations around the world in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia help optimize performance
Microsoft data centers use state-of-the-art hardware and redundant power supplies

Option to buy Software Assurance – get all updates to software in agreement period, as well as ‘Home Use’ license for all employees
Excel 2013: Easily discover, visualize and share insights from your data. Quick Analysis converts your data into a chart or table in two steps. Flash Fill recognizes your action patterns and auto-completes the remaining data for you, while Recommended Charts recommends the most suitable charts based on patterns in your data.
Outlook 2013: Take control of your day. Manage your email, schedules, contacts, and to-do items. Respond faster with Inline Replies, typing your response right in the reading pane. Sneak a peak at your schedule, appointments, contacts and more without having to switch from email to calendar, contacts or tasks, and Quick action commands let you flag, delete or mark your messages with handy commands in the message list.
PowerPoint 2013: Design and work together with intuitive tools that help your presentation stand out. Presenter View lets you see your notes, jump between non-consecutive slides, swap presentation displays and annotate directly on your slides to nail your presentation. Improved design tools like Alignment Guides and Eyedropper simplify slide design, and Reply Comment tracks comments and replies right next to the relevant text or graphic.
Word 2013: Create beautiful documents, easily work with others and enjoy reading. PDF Reflow lets you open and edit a PDF in Word. Live Layout and Alignment guides make it easy to line up charts and photos with and through your text, while Reply Comment simplifies reading and tracking comments.

OneNote 2013: Take your notes with you wherever you go. Capture typed and handwritten notes, links, web pages, sketches, and videos and other media and assemble it in one handy place. Search your notes and files for anything you’ve captured—a particular term in a note, words in a picture, or a title of a file. Inking lets you take notes your way – draw, erase, edit with your finger, or convert your handwriting into text.
Publisher 2013 Use familiar, simple tools to create and share professional-looking, personalized publications that make an impact. Experiment to find the right image using Swap Picture to import all your pictures to a single canvas and swap them in and out of your design with a simple drag and drop, without wasting time. Use expert, attention-grabbing Effects for text, shapes and pictures to polish your publication.
This slide is meant to highlight how Office 365 can help customers save money by offering a lower total cost of ownership than an on-premises solution. This is helpful with customers who are very cost sensitive and would like to understand the potential cost savings of moving to the cloud.
The two graphs shown are sample output of the partner-facing “Value of Microsoft Office Tool” found here: http://aka.ms/pmc/ValueofOffice
It’s meant to show an example of a SMB customer with 100 users, currently running Exchange 2003, Office 2007, and SharePoint 2007, and considering moving to Office 365 Enterprise E3 at $20/user/month in US dollars. The cost comparison chart on the right is meant to be very conservative, comparing what the costs would be for on-premises (assuming status quo for year one and updating in year two) versus Office 365 in the cloud (assuming higher costs in year one for migration services).
The graphs should be straight forward enough to show that by the end of a 6 year period, the total cost of ownership of running your own on-premises solution will be more than double that of using Office 365 cloud services.
Instead of using these two graphs as is, you should always customize the parameters in the tool based on each customer’s IT set up and requirement.

Deploying Office in the past has always been a chore. Now you can deploy Office on desktops quickly and effortlessly by streaming the full-featured Office desktop applications directly from Office 365. [Click] It’s so simple, users can do it themselves by simply clicking on “install”.
This is a ground-breaking technology because rather than taking 30 min to download the .msi file (Microsoft Installer) and then another 20-30 min to install Office, this click-to-run technology makes Office ready to use within moments (as quick as seconds with a fast Internet connection) of you clicking “install”.
This Office stays on the machine so users can go offline once it’s installed. This is not to be confused with Office on demand that we talked about before for you to stream one Office application to any PC for you to edit documents wherever you are.
Not only is the new Office quick to install, it can also run side-by-side with older versions of Office.
[Click] Here you have an example of a single machine running both Word 2013 and Word 2003.
This is great for many reasons. It means you can deploy and standardize everyone in the company with the new Office but still allowing, say Finance, to open and use a budgeting Excel file with macros built in that they have been using for years. This will give them time to test the new Excel before completely moving off of Office 2003 – which will reach end of support in April 2014.
