What We See on the Horizon
•  Office 365 Growth
•  Fastest selling product in MS history
•  Margins tightening
•  Key is to build services around O365 platform
•  Hosted Exchange will Remain Strong
•  Reluctance to move to the MS cloud
•  Upgrades automatic with new releases
•  May be easier first step into the cloud for onpremises customers
•  Security will be the Key Differentiator
•  Compliance issues on one hand
•  Hackers, data thieves on the other
•  Different verticals, different needs
The Vertical Opportunity
•  Identify your targets
•  Who are you serving now?
•  Where do you have connections?
•  Understand the pain points
•  What IT issues hurt productivity?
•  What are the regulatory burdens?
•  Find the FUD
•  Build the solutions
•  Create prescriptive bundles
•  Stay flexible and manage the journey
Putting it into Practice

What We’ve Learned . . .
•  Resellers are in a great position to tap into
the vertical markets.
•  Bundling the right mix of services can
make yours the go-to solution that scales.
•  Do more than sell services – create a
relationship that extends beyond the sale.
•  Resolve the FUD and become the trusted
advisor they turn to every time.
