At Small Business Week - San Francisco we looked from our roots to the present and celebrated the 9.6 million small businesses in the U.S. Below is an overview of our time at the event including how we celebrated and some of the people we met.
In our third and final post about the privacy tenets Microsoft Office 365 was built on - responsibility, transparency, and choice - we'll talk about how our customers have the opportunity to choose whether information will be collected, shared, or made public. There are three categories that fall under choice: administrative access, identity management, and Microsoft partners. Based on the Microsoft whitepaper "Privacy in the Public Cloud: The Office 365 Approach" below we provide more information about each one.
Colonial Williamsburg decided to subscribe to Microsoft Office 365, a services offering that combines the familiar functionality of the Office desktop suite with cloud-based versions of next-generation communications and collaboration services. By using Office 365, the museum found it could do a better job of marketing to and providing services for customers, reducing costs by $27,000 annually.
Emperor Group, a global conglomerate with several offices around the world, recently chose Microsoft Office 365 for the quality of its cloud communication and collaboration solutions.
The company spent a month rigorously evaluating Office 365 and Google Apps solutions for functionality, connectivity, and speed - and found the complete suite of applications in Office 365 met its stringent business and technology requirements.
Microsoft Office 365 was built from the ground up with three privacy tenets at its core: responsibility, transparency, and choice. As part of our three part security and privacy series, today we'll take a close look at transparency and how we strive to make our practices easy to understand. At the heart of our transparency efforts is the Office 365 Trust Center which is designed to tell customers, in plain language, exactly how we handle and use data gathered through their use of our cloud-based service.
Microsoft Office 365 provides small businesses with simple tools to create professional-looking websites. Powered by SharePoint Online, you can choose your own domain and use the provided tools and templates to build, publish and maintain your site. Gadgets, which are standalone applications that come with SharePoint Online, allow you to further enhance your website with everything from videos to a PayPal button.
During the month of May we celebrate the almost 10 million small businesses in the United States with learning sessions, tweetups, giveaways, and other special events. Join us during National Small Business Weeks across the nation at these events:

We used a local IT provider for our website and to store our email and business data, and another third-party VPN solution to access our email. This bolted together solution was difficult to use, and our email didn't sync to our phones. It was difficult to keep track of old email, and trying to keep everything synced between our computer and phone was a challenge-not to mention time-consuming. Plus, the service was so slow that it was painful to access email and work from home. We couldn't even share calendars or send targeted email to specific groups. It felt like we were working with Band-aid solutions, and the communication gaps meant that we weren't as responsive to donors and stakeholders as we would have liked. Then one day, as I was complaining about this situation to Lance, our contact at Denver Desktop Support, he told me about Microsoft Office 365.
Whether your small business has one employee or 50, Office 365 provides tools that will help you run it like a Fortune 500 company. As a monthly subscription service that starts at $6 a month, you can boost your company's brand and image with Microsoft SharePoint Online for collaboration and document sharing, Microsoft Exchange Online for email, and Microsoft Lync Online for instant messaging and web conferencing.
