A lot of Scottish Partners have been asking the Partner Team based in Edinburgh, what is Microsoft doing to help them generate business in the current tough economic climate.  Microsoft recognises the challenges this downturn is having on our Partners and the impact on sales and margins, and the Microsoft UK Partner team have developed a new campaign - " Power through the Downturn", to help partners win business in the market conditions of 2009.  This campaign is targeted at mid-sized companies with 30 – 250 PCs, and focuses on core Microsoft products that deliver real savings and productivity gains now.  They include:

  • Microsoft Unified Communications solutions – help reduce travel, office and telephony costs.
  • Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 and Windows® SharePoint Services 3.0 – speed up the sharing of businesscritical data, enabling companies to improve their employee efficiency and free up their time to work in the most productive way.
  • Windows Server® 2008 – delivers direct capital savings on hardware, with operating cost savings on power and IT management.

Within this campaign Partners will find supporting literature that concisely highlights the business and cost-reduction benefits of these products for their customers, supported by facts, figures and real world case studies.

In addition to the above messages, we are making your selling proposition even stronger with a great financial offer to help Partners close business.

  • Up to 10% discount on selected core products through Open Licensing until 27 March 2009.

By combining this great offer with the cost-reduction benefits of the software, Partners will be able to offer their customers a compelling business case for taking action now.
