Take advantage of new remote working and collaboration tools in Microsoft Office 2010
Microsoft Office 2010 is the latest offering from the US computer giant. Up until now, Microsoft Office 2007 has been used by millions of people and businesses every day. Yet tweaks and adjustments have made it even better, and have opened up a whole new realm of possibility for small businesses. The advantages for smaller companies are numerous and will make a real difference in helping them through the recession. For a small outlay, small business leaders can take advantage of several new features that will make businesses more mobile and accessible.
What has changed? Well take a look at some of Microsoft 2010's improved features:
Better Collaboration Tools
In Microsoft Office 2010 the collaboration tools make travelling from office to office and third party conference calls less important. More than one person can now work on a document at the same time. Several team members in different locations can work on the same PowerPoint, Excel or Word document and see what sections are being edited or created instantly. This makes virtual meetings more effective and staff can get more done when working in different locations, meaning deadlines can be hit quicker, as well as saving on travel costs.
Remote location working is no longer a problem
A new addition to Microsoft Office 2010 is Office Web Apps, which allows you to make minor edits and changes to any Word, Excel or PowerPoint document from any supported web browser, such as Firefox, Safari or Windows Explorer. Changes are automatically saved so you can effortlessly change between the web and desktop as you please, even via a Smartphone.
No internet connection? Then work offline!
Perhaps one of the most useful additions to Office 2010 is SharePoint Workspace, which allows every one of your staff to take SharePoint content offline, and then work on its content without the need for an internet connection. This can be a god send if your company has every suffered from a poor or unreliable internet connection.
Easy to stay organised
The days of employing a specialist filing assistant may be over, as with the all new OneNote you can make everything easily accessible, allowing for more productive and organised multitasking. This is a very helpful programme for those who have very little time to deal with administrative and filing jobs themselves, or find it eating up a large part of the day.
Protection from attacks
Nothing is more important than protecting your files and computer systems from attacks. Office 2010 now includes a protective view feature which can prevent malware affecting your system from suspect email attachments, internet files, as well as in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
These benefits are vital to small businesses. In a recession, small businesses should constantly be looking at how they can set themselves apart from the competition and show themselves as a more dynamic and progressive company. Having secure protection from malware, being able to work remotely or even without an internet connection are features that will benefit virtually every business which has an IT system.
But for many users the key as to whether Microsoft Office 2010 is worth investing in lies in the improvements to the actual software performance of the popular Word, Excel and PowerPoint. All three, including Access and Outlook, have undergone improvements.
Word 2010
New features allow businesses to gain access to all files from anywhere in the world. You can create top quality documents and collaborate with work colleagues. It is also a lot easier to create and organise documents in Word 2010.
Excel 2010
Excel 2010 has better data analysis and visualisation tools to help you monitor and view data trends. Sharing information is now a lot easier, as you can now upload your files to the web and work on them simultaneously with others. Access to Excel spreadsheets can also be reached via any web browser when on the move.
PowerPoint 2010
There are now more ways to share and create stunning presentations. New and improved video and visual tools are available, and presentations can be accessed from the web via Smartphones, allowing for a greater degree of collaboration and access.
There are real benefits to upgrading to Microsoft Office 2010, with many specialist IT support companies recommending it. In the IT world it is important to stay up to speed with the changes and developments in software. By using the best tools, businesses show to customers that they are prepared to invest money in order to improve services to them. An old, out of date system is not a good advertisement to potential clients.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM Helps You Make Connections
There are many different customer relationship management software options but none quite as superior or affordable as Microsoft CRM and you can choose between a locally installed program or you can get connected and have Microsoft do the hosting.
Microsoft CRM Connected provides you with all of the benefits of the stand alone software. Of course each method has their pros and cons. The biggest problem with hosted software is an ongoing expense month after month that never goes away.
Locally hosted has a larger cash outlay in the beginning but then it's over with and you have minimum costs associated with it. It really comes down to which method fits your budget the best.
There is no question that the hosted CRM Connection solution gets you up and running faster and easier but then again you have no control over your software or your data which is stored somewhere else. Connecting to the host can be a perfect solution for smaller businesses that don't have an IT department but want the benefits of a sophisticated reliable and flexible CRM package.
Each year more and more businesses decide to turn to ASP or Application Service Providers for their IT infrastructure and to host their applications and never has there been such an excellent CRM choice then with Microsoft Dynamics CRM. It's great that Microsoft offers choice to their customers depending on individual company needs. The new connected version changes the dynamics completely.
You can access Microsoft CRM Connected from any web connection and you can integrate your Microsoft Outlook on your local server with your Microsoft CRM connected. It's easy to set up, and you can customize it to your personal needs. It's very flexible and you can also add Microsoft Business Solutions Financials to your integrated system. In fact there are also some third party applications that can be integrated. Add as many users as you like.
Whether your business runs 9 to 5 or is open 24/7 you have secure access to your online Microsoft CRM anytime, anywhere. And with your CRM software sitting on the web you don't have to concern yourself with installing software, managing it, or upgrading it. Then again remember nothings for free and if you are going to be paying for the service of hosting. The simple pricing scheme can be easier on your pocket book initially but then you'll pay forever.
Sure software is a big investment for any company and packages as complex, complete, and integrated as Microsoft CRM can be a bit hard on the budget - between hardware, software, and training the pocket book can become taxed to the limit. But - and this is a big BUT because this is an investment that you can write off and you don't have an ongoing monthly expense.
Choosing the web based software may reduce your costs and training is just a matter of end user. Just open up, log in, and get to work and it doesn't matter where you access it from. So whether you have one business location or locations around the world you will stay connected. On the other hand you will not really understand your software nor will you be in complete control of your software or data.
I know what you're thinking - "If I outsource my stuff to Microsoft Dynamics CRM I don't have to worry about a implementation." Well sure but then again a good stand alone system leaves you as secure as a hosted site. Stuff can happen whether on a hosted site or stand alone and the key is to have a good backup system in place.
So really you can see where each has it's pros and cons. Should you get connected with Microsoft Dynamics CRM or should you go stand alone. It really depends on your business and your budget. What's for sure is that when you invest in Microsoft Dynamics CRM you never have to worry again about your customer relationship software.
