Talk Track: NEEDS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
You and your business are facing a tremendous set of challenges in today's economic environment. Many of these challenges are unique to your business, but there are some challenges all businesses must face. One such challenge is how to deal with the ever-increasing and evolving demands being placed on businesses today. In order to meet these demands, you must constantly find new ways to operate, cut costs, and communicate, all in an effort to sharpen your competitive edge.
By working with our strategic partners, as well as business owners like you, we've been able to identify and define the current demands being put on businesses and their owners. To help us understand the state of small business today, we conducted research studies, held focus groups and identified patterns surfacing from direct conversations with small business owners and decision makers like you. You may find the conclusion interesting and also familiar. These 8 Top Needs of Small Business represent the collective challenges and demands small businesses face today and need to overcome in order to be more successful in today's highly competitive business environment.
It’s not about working harder as it’s already a struggle trying to balance work and life. You need to find a way to work smarter by maximizing the technologies you’ve come to rely on. Just like every other business, you’re looking for better ways to getting it done. Small businesses want to take advantage of advancements in mobile computing so they can keep their business moving forward without interruption. Finding new ways to stay connected even when working remotely is important. And of course as new mobile solutions evolve, the question of maintaining control of information, processes, and personnel is equally important. Finding new ways to communicate and manage your business on-the-go is clearly a priority for small businesses.
Besides meeting your own mobility and productivity, business management and operations considerations are also top of mind. By far, the biggest concern moving into this new era of business is making sure every aspect of the business is secure, giving you peace of mind that it’s all protected. When you blend the flexibility of a mobile work style with enhanced security features, you increase productivity across the board, giving you the competitive advantage. But this additional technology could mean additional complications when it comes to managing it all. Your business will have to find easier technology management solutions. It can’t afford to get bogged down with complicated systems that provide inadequate results. And at the end of the day, it comes down to just that. Finding and implementing technology that just works. Because if it doesn’t work, it can’t help you and your business be successful.

Talk Track: INTRODUCTION TO WINDOWS 8
Windows has been reimagined to focus on your business and life. Windows has a new beautiful, fast, and fluid design. Behind the new look of Windows 8 is the rock-solid foundation you’ve come to expect from Windows 7. Just like Windows 7, security and reliability features are built into Windows 8. Everything that was great about Windows 7 is even better.
The new Start screen has all of the information you care about in one place, such as your contacts, the weather, and the next appointment on your calendar. Windows 8 is truly yours: websites, news, people, contacts, and your favorite apps are front and center. Because you decide how to organize and group things on the screen, viewing and interacting with content is faster than ever. The tiles on your Start screen are brimming with content, and they change and update in real time so you can see what’s going on and stay on top of things.
Windows 8 is hands-on and designed to eliminate the need to choose between this and that.. Between consumption and productivity, between powerful capabilities and long battery life. … between touch and mouse and keyboard, for example. Because you work in different ways depending on which app you’re using, Windows 8 makes it easy to use touch or mouse and keyboard, whichever method works best. And the most efficient way to get stuff done is immediately available. Whether you’re browsing apps, reading a book, or typing on the go with touch, creating a project that requires the more productive horsepower of a traditional mouse and keyboard, or doing everything at once, Windows 8 makes it easy. You use whatever works best, whenever it works best. No tradeoffs.
Windows 8 also incorporates the familiar PC desktop that you know today. In the desktop, you’ll see that the settings and features you used in Windows 7 are still there.
Apps are the heart of Windows 8. Windows 8 provides you with built in apps, and access to the Windows store where you can easily browse, try, buy and manage apps for thousands of apps. The majority of your existing apps that run on Windows 7 will run on Windows 8.
Windows 8 is cloud-connected. Your Microsoft account is like a portable, personal PC that appears on any Windows 8 device you’re using. Sign in to your Windows 8 device with your Microsoft account and you’re immediately connected to the people, files, and settings you care about. Your PC comes to life with all the things that make Windows yours, including your Start page, themes, language preferences, browsing history, and browser favorites. You can connect your favorite services to your Microsoft account, too—services like Microsoft Hotmail, Microsoft Messenger, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more. And you can immediately get to your photos, docs, and other files, whether they’re on Microsoft SkyDrive, Facebook, Flickr, or other services.
All of these new Windows 8 features, and more, are available on a wide range of hardware…(segue to next slide)

7. Amazing new hardware choices
Touch, keyboard and mouse
Thinner, lighter, faster
Longer battery life
Advanced security
Sensors and extensibility
Certified to high standards
Tablets and convertibles
Notebooks, desktops and all-in-ones
[SLIDE OBJECTIVE: Communicate how businesses no longer have to compromise when deciding on which device is best for their business.]
Talk Track: INTRODUCE THE NEW WIDE RANGE OF HARDWARE
The beautiful, fast, and fluid design is perfect for a range of hardware: from compact, touch-enabled tablets and lightweight notebooks, to PCs and large, powerful all-in-ones with high-definition screens. With Windows 8, you don’t have to choose between a touch device and a hard-working PC because you can have it both ways. And whether you like to stay put or work on the go, you can enjoy the power, convenience, and versatility of Windows across a new wide range of hardware.
Windows 8 is designed for a touch or mouse & keyboard experience providing a fast, fluid and responsive experience, supporting multipoint touch capabilities. Touch experience can be used for precise targeting with efficient on-screen typing and consistent app behavior with a modern track pad.
Windows 8 devices will be thinner, lighter, faster offering faster boot and greatly reduced Wi-Fi connection times and new processes and materials making it easier to get it all done wherever and whenever you need.
Because Windows 8 can run on low-power CPUs, you can work much longer on a single charge. That means you can stay connected so your PC is ready when you are. Battery life is longer and connections are stronger so you’ll be able to find a device to suit you for work or play.
Windows 8 provides advanced security capabilities that keep you more secure against malware intrusion. Windows 8 Pro devices are better protected with easy- to-deploy data encryption with BitLocker, and more protected with strong access control to resources with domain join and Group Policy.
Windows 8 supports devices with built-in sensors, providing new and tailored app experiences. Sensors supported with Windows 8 include accelerometer, geolocation, inclinometer, gyrometer, compass, ambient-light, orientation and simple orientation of a device.
Windows 8 devices are extensible with the latest in technology: USB 3 offers up 10x speed of USB 2.0, higher power for charging, lower power requirements; Bluetooth LE (low energy aka low power) delivers low power wireless connectivity for longer battery life or new classes of low power devices; Wi-Fi Direct provides high bandwidth, secure, peer-to-peer device connectivity between PCs and devices; Near-field Communication is a low bandwidth, short range communication technology perfectly suited for person-to-person sharing and simplifying device pairing
You will get a high quality experience on any certified Windows 8 device providing a great common experience. This common experience provides what users need. For example all tablets that meet specifications will have a USB port, webcam and five buttons. All certified PCs will come with UEFI to ensure fast, secure booting. And where there are cases that businesses have requirements that conflict with the standard certification requirements, Windows 8 will also power specialized solutions.
Windows 8 is now supported with amazing set of new device designs, in new and traditional form factors. Windows 8 provides one interface across all devices, with a consistent UI and functionality offering you the versatility to chose the device that works best for how you work. From tablets and convertibles to notebooks large and small to desktops and all-in-ones with large, high-definition screens.
Windows will keep supporting the special devices that make Windows power business – PCs that can take a 50 caliber bullet and tablets that can be sanitized for use in healthcare. This is all part of the Windows value to business – for any scenario there is a solution and device designed for the job. Windows 8 leverages an unprecedented time of PC hardware innovation driven by mobility, integration, connectivity and security.

Windows 8 integrates mobile broadband as a first-class connectivity experience within Windows – right alongside Wi-Fi. When you resume from standby, Windows 8 reconnects you faster to your preferred Wi-Fi networks by optimizing operations. This means you can reconnect your PC to a Wi-Fi network from standby in about a second –oftentimes before your display is even ready. You do not have to do anything special for this – Windows 8 just learns which networks you prefer and manages everything for you.
If you’re one of the many people who use multiple monitors, you’ll find it more flexible than ever. With many types of hardware, you can display the Start screen on one monitor and the desktop on the others. Desktop backgrounds can be different on each monitor or can stretch across your screens.
Windows Explorer is enhanced to make file management and navigation straightforward. The ribbon organizes Windows Explorer and reveals features that used to be hidden. It’s easier to view and manage all of your file operations in one place.
Windows 8 also improves on the Task manager which is a handy dashboard that you can use to monitor and control your PC so you always know what’s going on. Color-coded tiles present information in a way that’s easy to understand. The Task Manager is optimized for the most common scenarios like ending processes quickly and efficiently or diagnosing performance issues. In addition the new Task Manager now contains friendly names, which makes it easy for you to find out what a particular process is.
