Customer Objections and Proposed Responses

Office 2003/2007 works fine for us…

• Features in the new Office help you stay productive on all your mobile devices no matter where you are working from. It is designed for touch, pen, and keyboard; it’s great on Windows 8 but also works on iOS and Android devices; and it supports access to your content from virtually anywhere, whether through a browser or smartphone

• Mainstream support for Office 2003 ended in 2009. Extended support ends April 2014

We are concerned about compatibility & hardware issues…

• The new Office can co-exist side-by-side with older versions of Office, this mitigates deployment costs and complexity

• New Office apps are optimized for PC’s, smartphones and tablets

I don’t need Office Pro Plus…

• Only with Office Professional Plus 2013 can you get: • New data analysis and visualization capabilities with Excel (PowerView & PowerPivot)• Real time communications with Lync client (voice & HD video), data loss protection and

archiving with Outlook • Latest version of the Office productivity apps

We use iPad/Android… • The Office experience goes to all your mobile devices and smartphones with Office Mobile available on Windows phone, iOS & Android phones. Office mobile gives a consistent, yet platform-optimized experience

My email system is good enough…

• Exchange delivers a wide array of features that help IT lower storage and maintenance cost, improving on uptime, and safeguard company communications, while enabling your users to have a productive experience from virtually any platform, device or browser

Why should I pay for the new Office instead of Google Apps?

• Top Line: Microsoft has strong credibility and reliability when it comes to providing businesses with productivity tools. Google uses your business data to sell advertising.

• Familiar: Office offers functionality that users expect that are not natively available in Google Apps

• Efficient: Save time and effort by avoiding unnecessary formatting errors that may occur when editing Office content in Google Docs

• Costs: Google Apps may cost more than advertised because of potential add-ons and hidden costs

• Privacy: Google’s core business is in advertising; don’t trust an advertising company with your company’s or your customers’ private data
