Q&A: Unique Program Aims to Make
Technology Easier for Small Businesses 04/30/2004 04:35 PM
The small business segment is a unique audience with special requirements. In order for technology geared to small businesses to be accessible and effective, it must be affordable, easy to manage and incorporate support programs. A strategic relationship recently announced in London between Microsoft and British Telecommunications (BT), one of Europe's leading providers of telecommunications services, aims to transform the quality and delivery of technology available to small businesses in the UK. A market test of the new initiative in two regions of Scotland will target this currently underserved segment of the business community and seek to narrow the technology gap between large and small businesses.

New Service Offers Corporate Email
Features to Small Businesses 06/03/2004 02:01 AM
Picomail allows businesses to handle email in a businesslike manner. Small businesses no longer have to rely on whatever email services they can get from their Internet access provider, but can use an email service with the ease of use of Hotmail or AOL's email, with built-in features previously available only with in-house corporate email servers and support staff. Each business gets its own domain name, and can set up as many accounts as needed. Businesses can optionally elect to have an "email receptionist" who can review and redirect incoming email addressed to functional names such as Sales, Service, Personnel, and so forth, as well as email addressed to employees who are away from the office and likely SPAM.

Microsoft Small Business Accounting
Targeted for H1 2006 02/05/2005 09:45 PM
According to Karan Khanna, product manager for Microsoft's forthcoming Small Business Accounting (now in beta testing), Microsoft is aiming for a release of the platform in the first half of 2006. Microsoft had previously announced product availability in late 2005. From the transcript of The .NET Show featuring SBA:

"ROBERT HESS: Now Christin mentioned that we were in the beta phase right now in this application. When does it actually come out into the market for real?

KARAN KHANNA: The plan is in the first half of next year you would have the application available. But it's in beta right now. "

The application, targeting small (1-25) businesses, is currently in <A href="http://blog.sagetechnology.com/techsage/archive/2004/11/06/ 248.aspx" target=_blank>beta testing</A>.  An <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/sba" target=_blank>SDK</A> for ISVs should be available soon and those interested should visit the <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/isv/technology/sba" target=_blank>ISV Community Center for SBA</A>.  The .NET Show episode includes demos of development with the SDK as well as code samples.  Other exciting news for developers is that, because user security for SBA is built into the SQL database (MSDE is supported), the platform will allow direct access to the database from third party applications or even end users'  - import/analyze via SQL ODBC in spreadsheets, for example.
