The article is mis-leading
"Office 365, one of the leading solutions for bringing your back office to the cloud, is now available at a discount for nonprofits and charities in Canada."
Errr, most of the plans are in fact free.

Office 365 E1 is completely free for non profits. Skip tech soup and go direct.
Nothing but good experience with support and in general.
Might be worth adding a media retention policy, I imagine you do the same for video which is far more expensive to store the raw, so add it for photography.
Stopped using Godaddy awhile ago, using a UK based provider instead, much much happier.
I used to use Lynda.com a couple of years ago - Found a few of the courses helpful
Will need to get into Pluralsight I suspect.
I remember a few Halo modifications for PC games were circling for a little while but Microsoft's lawyers swooped in and shut them down pretty quickly, I'd be very surprised if they would allow you to emulate their console games.

And even for the Xbox 360, Microsoft is late to the game. The hobby community already did this...
That link came up with all manner of warnings and blocks on my AV, is that legit?
I miss Halo...Please bring these titles to PC.
I think my main point to @Ambarishrh was - Do you want to be another packaged supplier competing on the same feature-set and price?
@scottalanmiller said:
Tons of vendors do packages, not custom solutions. It's a very common way to go because it can be tested as a complete solution and priced reliably.
True, but are you a vendor or a consultant would be my question.
Seems like too many vendors or companies I turn to has a Webinar they'd love me to sign up for not as a but as a first gut reaction to a potential lead instead of other options.
No I will not give you an hour of my time for you to sell me product, give me a clear concise document/recorded video or just be there on email when I have a question.
On websites, in conversations, I keep running into this cycle:
"Can I get a demo of your product?
"No sir but if you just subscribe to our upcoming webinar"
" I need to evaluate 9 different products in a short space of time, I don't have 9 hours of webinar time, please may I have a demo as I might be short-listing this product for purchase."
"But sir our product is very nuanced and special, we need to walk you through it so that you can understand it fully."
Does anyone have time for them and or watch them? I can understand if you are an existing client they might be great to check out how to guides, new feature releases but when you are brand new.
Gut reaction.
"Oh another Facebook app of sharing photos"
But then I remember a minor story about "Private photo sharing" on a secure platform.

Hi @Ambarishrh
I did similar based packages to support like you, I now offer nothing as a package because I don't want to be the one size fits all provider. I want to tailor everything to the client.
When you offer "Packages" you limit yourself and the customer to the options.
Customer A looks at the packages, does not see what he wants, moves onto another provider.
Customer B looks at the packages, does not understand why you are more expensive than other provider for the same/less features, so moves on.
Both of these customers could be yours if you can have the discussion with them.

I found this thread fairly difficult, I was very attached to "my baby" as I'd spent time planning it and working out all the neat little packages but the biggest asset to my business will never be pre-set packages, there are countless providers out there doing the same thing, if you want to distinguish yourself don't try to copy mass market with packages.
And on another note, office 365 would be a competitor in packaged services, what will you do to match or beat them? Why would you be better than Microsoft as a provider?
It's a java problem. You need to install the correct version and do a bit of wizardry.

That's funny, I know someone who went there.

Can anyone explain how using a cert on my PC makes my Android connect to MS?
Read the guide again.
"Install the certificate.
Copy the certificate files to your device.
On your device, go to Settings, tap Personal, tap Security, and then tap Install from Storage.
Select the certificate that you have to have, and then tap OK.
To verify that the certificate is installed, go to Settings, tap Personal, tap Security, tap Trusted Credentials, and then tap User. "
Sometimes Microsoft do have a clue what they are talking about
Oh and...
"VMWare Gold Multisite Consultant"
I suspect talking through backside at this stage...but has anyone heard of this?
