Make the Small Business opportunity - yours
Overall, the small business market is fast-growing, with 36M small business entities worldwide1. In fact, only 9M of these organisations actually have servers deployed. So effectively there is an untapped SMB server market of approximately 27M SMB customers ($93B hardware, software and services opportunity)2 which can be more successful using Microsoft SBS solutions.
Of these entities:
- 11M are core small businesses (3-25 PCs)
- 25M are lower small businesses (1-4 PCs)
|
Three key strategic market opportunities exist within the small business segment:
1. First Server Opportunity:
The total first server opportunity equals 27M entities worldwide*, and the market for selling and installing a first server is poised for continued growth worldwide at two percent faster than the overall server market. SBS 2011 Essentials gives partners an opportunity to drive incremental revenue by selling and managing easy to use, affordable servers that will help small businesses take advantage of both traditional and cloud computing capabilities
2. Right Server Opportunity:
Windows Small Business Server offers an ideal combination of technologies and management capabilities for small businesses seeking to grow their business capacity with an affordable, manageable solution. Microsoft is enabling companies to implement technologies on their own terms – whether that means using traditional computing models, adopting cloud computing for specific business requirements or fully embracing cloud computing.
3. Upgrade Opportunity:
There is also a large opportunity to refresh SBS 2000 and SBS 2003, which represent a combined installed base of 1-1.5 Million units3. SBS 2000 in particular is exiting the support life cycle thus offering a clear incentive to move toward the newer editions of the OS.
