  1. What questions should I ask to qualify a potential HCS customer?

  2. #1 Are we talking to the right customers? Are you consuming any applications in an As-a-Service model today? (Examples: Salesforce.com, Google Apps, Office 365) If no, are you currently developing a “Cloud” strategy as part of your overall IT Portfolio Management Strategy?

  3. Is Hosted Collaboration a fit for you? What is your cloud strategy? What apps are you consuming from cloud today? Where were those cloud decisions made (IT, LOB, Users)? What was motivation to move to cloud? • Low tolerance for risk • Shortening the Time-to-Value • Business Continuity • Grown or are Growing by Acquisition • Focus IT on Strategic Business Initiatives • OpEx versus CapEx If you’re not talking to you customers about Cloud…someone else is

  7. Selling HCS Best Practices Summary • QUALIFY – Do they already use Cloud Services and/or have a Cloud Strategy? • IDENITFY - Talk to the budget holders, IT Leadership or Financial Leadership • Frame up the right approach to evaluating Cloud vs. On-Premise Solution…Don’t compare a BOM with a Service… • TCO - Have a story that you can tell, i.e. mortgage, car, etc. • Do they have a Collaboration Strategy, and if so, is it completely implemented? If no, why not? Only 4% of customer have completed a full roll out…HCS can address these barriers • Position HCS as a low risk option to begin their Collaboration journey • Become a Cloud Expert – Great cloud and Industry Reading Material:
