Most of the SMB Customers has migrated their Exchange mail to Exchange Online, but do not know there are many other smart ways to improve their way to collaborate with internal and external contacts or workers. They do not know that there are ways to see someone’s availability and presence for questions. Many of SMB customers do not know you can save documents from one point and share the document to other workers so they can work together real-time in the same documents. How cool is that and imagine how smarter you can work and save time and eventually bring down your costs.

Microsoft Netherlands facilitated an executive meeting room and catering and during this roundtable we challenged the Executive attendees to share their insights and vision if it comes to business challenges and opportunities within their vertical.

During this roundtable B-K IT Solutions we have shown these SMB’S customers how to improve their business processes and to make their work smarter and eventually reduce costs in terms of Unified Communications, Collaboration, Enterprise Social.

September 26, 2014September 27, 2014 by jcc cloud, posted in Executive, featured, Strategy

Hi All,

Today JCC Consultancy organized the second Executive Strategy roundtable for Owner/Founders from Microsoft Non Managed Partners in the Netherlands. Microsoft Netherlands facilitated the roundtable room in their Microsoft building near Schiphol Airport.

WP_20140926_006

On April 22nd, JCC Consultancy had organized the first intimate Executive Strategy roundtable with Microsoft Netherlands for only Microsoft Non Managed Partners and it was a success. For more info on this roundtable please go to: http://wp.me/p44K3B-cL and for more info see below:

80% of Microsoft Non managed partners does not attend WPC or major Microsoft events

In December 2013 and January 2014, JCC Consultancy has conducted a survey among 500 Microsoft Non Managed partners in the Benelux and one of the questions we have imposed was : Will you attend SharePoint Conference Las Vegas or WPC Washington? 80% of them answered No, because they do not have time or the budget.

Besides there are 750.000 Microsoft Partners worldwide and only 16.000 of them attend the WPC Washington and SP Las Vegas. So that means there is huge group of 700.000 Microsoft non managed partners worldwide who does not attend the events and are missing out on the latest intel and insights. And yes there are hubs and portals where they can find and look back at the sessions and presentations, but they lack time, because it is business as usual.

We work for you, while it is business as usual for you

So that is what JCC Consultancy does and makes unique and a niche-player worldwide, because our trademark, services and concept have been patented and are unique for the Non Managed Partners worldwide. We collect the latest and most important intel/insights and filter that and present it back to the Microsoft Non Managed Partners worldwide.

Based on survey result and other results coming from the survey, JCC Consultancy decided to organize Executive Roundtables for Non Managed Partners who did not attend the events, but still want to be inspired and updated with the latest intel/insight.

At the roundtable in April, the topics were mainly inspired by the SharePoint Conference Strategical content JCC Consultancy has gathered by attending the Executive/Business Decision Makers and Strategy sessions/keynotes at the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas last March.

For my blogs on that event please check: https://jcccloud.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/the-week-after-the-showdown-of-sharepoint-2014-conference-in-las-vegas/

roundtable September 26th

JCC Consultancy goes WPC Washington

Like we did at the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas, JCC Consultancy has solely visited and attended Strategy, Business Decision Making, SMB Sessions and keynotes at the WPC Washington.

During this Executive roundtable, attendees can expect:

JCC Consultancy goes World Partner Conference in Washington: JCC Consultancy will present the latest Microsoft vision and strategy and what kind of impact it will have on partners worldwide.
Jean-Claude Chan again at the WPC in Washington, had an One on One Executive meeting with Jared Spataro ( at the SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas JCC Consultancy already had an One-on One Executive meeting with Jared) General Manager Office 365 and Yammer, Jared Spataro and Jay Sethna, Product manager Yammer. At this roundtable i will share some insights with you on Office 365 and Yammer and the SMB market.
JCC Consultancy will present what trends and developments are happening within the SMB Market and what is going to happen in 2015 and 2016 within the Microsoft SMB world and which new services will become available for Microsoft SMB Partners worldwide. How can you earn more money/profit as a Microsoft SMB Partner and how can you develop a sustainable Cloud strategy and propositions that can also be profitable?
Microsoft Non managed MKB Partner showcase: At this roundtable a customer showcase will be presented and the showcase is about a Microsoft Non Managed Partner who decided to go from Non Managed to a Managed Partner. What were their strategical drives and arguments to go Managed partner Status and what are the benefits and lessons learned for this partner. We will show you how JCC Consultancy has helped them to transform their business and Microsoft status.
At this roundtable it is all about you as Microsoft Non Managed Partner and JCC Consultancy and Microsoft would like to hear from the attendees what their challenges and problems are from Microsoft Non Managed Partners in terms of Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Delivery.
Finally JCC Consultancy will present the results from the survey JCC Consultancy has conducted among 500 Microsoft Non Managed Partners in an interactive way with the attendees.

Microsoft Office 365 team: Yammer Enterprise now included in Office 365 Midsize Business and Education plans

July 10, 2014 by jcc cloud, posted in Enterprise Social, featured, WPC Washington 2014, Yammer

Hi All,

Here is a latest update from Jared Spataro on Yammer and Office 365 and the SMB market.

Have a good one and I will see you in Washington at the Microsoft World Partner Conference 2 days from now.

Jean-Claude Chan

Jared Spataro is the General Manager of Enterprise Social at Microsoft.

One of our key themes at the SharePoint Conference in March was Work Like a Network. Yammer is at the heart of this new way of getting things done, and ever since the acquisition we’ve been focused on weaving social capabilities deeply into Office 365.

In November we announced the addition of Yammer Enterprise to all Office 365 Enterprise plans. And today—to further support our vision—I’m pleased to announce that Yammer Enterprise has been added to all Office 365 Midsize Business andOffice 365 Education plans.

As part of this update, all existing Office 365 Midsize Business and Office 365 Education plan customers will receive licenses for Yammer Enterprise. See Yammer Plans & Pricing for additional information. In addition, Midsize Business and Education customers are no longer required to purchase Yammer Enterprise licenses for external users within their external networks. This also applies to Enterprise customers, as we announced last November. This simple licensing change significantly reduces the friction in cross-organization collaboration and will enable your users to work with customers, partners, and parents and students without having to worry about additional costs.

We’re excited about what Yammer can do for these organizations. Midsized companies are always looking for ways to increase revenue, and schools are under increasing pressure to do more with less. Yammer and Office 365 can help your business or school work like a network and achieve your goals.

—Jared Spataro

82% of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners will not attend the WPC 2014

Last December and January 2014, JCC Consultancy has conducted a survey among 500 Executives/Owners of Microsoft Unmanged SMB Partners in the Benelux and one of the questions imposed was:

Are you going to attend the WPC 2014 Conference?

82 % answered: ” No, i will not attend the WPC 2014 Conference, but I do want to be updated with the latest developments and updates during the conference”.

The result was an eye opener for us, but also a very interesting opportunity for JCC Consultancy, because this figure shows that most of the attendees at the WPC Conference are mostly Microsoft Managed Partners and not Unmanaged SMB Partners.

Special platform for Business Decision Makers and owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners worldwide

So JCC Consultancy decided to launch a special platform/site (you can call it a interactive live Blogsite) called JCC Cloud , which is only focused on providing information in terms of Strategy, Sales, SharePoint, Office 365, Windows Azure, Cloud to solely Business Decision Makers or owners of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partner worldwide.

What can you expect from JCC Consultancy during the WPC 2014 event?

After JCC Consultancy conducted the survey and presented the figures, we were approached by Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners and they wanted to hire JCC Consultancy to collect relevant information in terms of Executive and Strategy at the WPC 2014 in Washington.

Real live information on Strategic and Executive level

So you as an owner or business decision maker of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partner who is not able to attend the WPC 2014 event in Washington, can stay home in your country and expect from JCC Consultancy the following:

JCC Consultancy will solely visit Executive/ Business decision makers sessions. There are over 400 sessions.
JCC Consultancy will blog live daily during the event from Sunday July 13th till Thursday July 17th , via our JCC CLOUD platform during all Executive sessions we will attend;
JCC Consultancy will collect all relevant and interesting Customer Showcases presentations and white papers and for Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners who are interested in this intelligence, you can contact me on info@jccconsultancy.com to order relevant white papers or presentations.
JCC Consultancy will also give you an impression of Washington by taking pictures and movies at the event and during the sessions and share relevant pictures or movies on our platform JCC Cloud.

I hope you have a good overview of what JCC Consultancy is trying to do with these activities in order to help, support, advice Owners and Executive of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners who are not able to attend this event.

Hi All,

Today I would like to inform you that last December 2013 and January 2014, JCC Consultancy conducted a online survey among 500 Microsoft SMB Partners in the Netherlands. These SMB Partners have a Managed and Unmanaged status and 344 of the 500 SMB Partners answered the survey.

In these blog post I will not share all survey results, but i do want to give you an insight what is really happening within the Microsoft Unmanaged SMB partner world.

Over 74 % of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners answered in the survey that they will change their business model and propositions in 2014!!
Over 54% of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners pointed out that they will need help in execution in terms of Strategy,Sales and Marketing in 2014.

74% and 54 are huge numbers and I do want to challenge Unmanaged SMB Partners to give their opinion on the survey result above.

Are you really changing your business model and if so, i want to hear from Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners what their problems are and why they have difficulties in executing their short and long-term plan in the field of Strategy, Sales, Marketing and Delivery.

JCC CONSULTANCY says: Come along and take a look what is happening in the world of Microsoft Unmanaged SMB Partners

Hi All,

Yesterday I was very proud to announce that our company website JCC Consultancy went live and we had a lot of visitors yesterday.

For those who do not know what JCC Consultancy exactly does, you can check out our website for more information.

As Microsoft is changing her strategy towards a Devices and Services organization, many Microsoft SMB Partners are forced to review and rebuild their current business model. In stead of just selling hardware or licenses, it is time to think about serious sustainable cloud propositions or practices which will be profitable on a short term (think about 2 years)
