How i did my microsoft project part 1
In the orientation program, I had a conversation for about two and a half hours with the management. Mainly the projects I got were Adwords analysis and the other two were to be given after I complete the first project. Now being new to internet marketing I faced a challenge of dealing with things which were totally alien for me to understand. So my manager asked me to do some research work on PPC analysis on the internet. After that I tried to represent the data in SPSS. Failing to do so left me with no option, but to switch over to excel. For few days the work was on the same project. The project did not have an outline. The manager analytics was confused about the way to opt for analysis. Every step was on experimental basis. Moreover the CEO was not in the country those days, so the work was going with no structure.
After few days a market research project came from Microsoft US. The project was actually divided into two phases. The first phase mainly included market sizing for the year 2008 and 2013 and total cost of ownership analysis. The second phase was to be disclosed after the completion of previous phase.
The product for research was SAAS platforms, or in other words, Software as a Service.
Microsoft has huge plans for SAAS. It was sure they will enter into the market but, the channel to adopt was not sure. There was even buzz that buying Yahoo was Microsoft big SAAS plan (source Krissi Danielsson's article on E biz). This year, partners are hoping Microsoft will reveal nitty-gritty details on SAAS commission structures, how services will be sold in the cloud, and to what extent partner compensation will change in the Software plus Services future. The fact that Microsoft hasn't yet offered this information has contributed to uneasiness in the channel, according to some solution providers. And there was news in Feb 2008 that Microsoft has said that the Internet service provider Fasthosts, which has started offering a subscription-based version of Microsoft Office 2007, is infringing on the software giant's license regulations -- but Fasthosts has denied this claim.
