Part of the thrill of working for the Office Division is the opportunity to tackle thorny business issues on behalf of our customers while providing them with a road map for the future. That may be why an interesting article caught my attention this week. In it, the author examined some of the investments Microsoft is making in the unified communications space. While I didn't agree with all of the conclusions it contained, the article certainly underscored the interest in communications and collaboration and how to make people more productive. Communicating and collaborating with others is really at the heart of what we do every day. Whether at work or at home, people have the need to make meaningful connections with one another. Compounding that need are the realities of the world we live in where instant access to information is expected, friends and coworkers are scattered across geographies and many adults are juggling multiple mobile devices. At Microsoft, we believe technology isn't the problem to these complexities, it's the answer. We're committed to providing capabilities that help people make sense of it all and to do so in a way that is intuitive, barrier free and agnostic to the devices on which we rely. We're incredibly proud of the fact that our long term-term vision for communications and collaboration not only marries the best of the cloud and the desktop, it's a holistic approach that spans "from the living room to the boardroom" placing people at the center of everything we do. Our communication and collaboration vision comes to life utilizing client and cloud assets, including Lync, Skype, Yammer, Outlook and SharePoint. These tools are enabling enterprise social capabilities, HD video conferencing and document collaboration as part of a highly secured, reliable and extensible platform. At the risk of looking geeky, I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Lync and it's comforting to know I'm not alone. More than 90% of

Right around the same time as we moved into our new digs on Market Street, we launched Yammer's civic engagement initiative called Mid-Market Matters, which focuses our community efforts on issues affecting our new neighborhood. Through this initiative we encourage Yammer employees to get out of the office (as beautiful as it is) and interact with our neighbors - whether that means grabbing a coffee at MaVelous, taking dance classes at LINES Dance Center, or volunteering at a local non-profit. Up until the 1950s the Mid-Market neighborhood was a thriving theater district. www.office.com/setup (UPFROMTHEDEEP.COM POSTCARD, CIRCA 1957) www.office.com/setup (SOURCE: SAN FRANCISCO HISTORY CENTER, SF PUBLICLIBRARY) However, after years of neglect and the unfortunate consequences of various policy decisions, we were left with many empty storefronts and a haven for illicit activity. www.office.com/setup (SOURCE: UPFROMTHEDEEP.COM) After numerous attempts at revitalization, it seems we finally have a fighting chance to make some lasting improvements to the area. Thanks to the public-private partnerships formed and the intense focus by all parties involved, we hope to make a difference in the lives of Mid-Market residents and businesses. . This time around everyone is at the table (transit, the arts, non-profits, the Mayor's office, and the business community). We all want to bring Market Street back to its former glory! Since January we've been busy!

In order to be taken seriously, small businesses need to convince customers of their professional ability and their value. Small businesses can punch above their weight by taking the time to go to market with a professional set of business documents, templates and content to ensure customers aren't dismissing them before they have a chance to pitch the value of their product or service.
