Need Feedback on Microsoft Technologies for Branch and Mid-Market IT

We want to hear from you and get your feedback.  What are the challenges that you face – technology, business, and environmental – in managing your Branch Office and/or Mid-Sized business IT infrastructures?  Use the comments below and join the discussion!

From our research we have identified 5 areas where our customers have expressed increased concerns:

• Enabling an increasingly mobile workforce
• Working within the constraints of tightening IT budgets
• Disaster recovery and data backup planning
• Providing secure and highly available server operating systems
• Reducing hardware costs and providing more, easily managed, services

We want to help you solve these challenges, but first we want to know if you agree with our initial findings.  Over the next several months we will be collecting your feedback and proposing solutions to help solve these challenges.  We will also highlight other ideas and solutions that are geared towards helping those managing Branch and Mid-Market IT infrastructures.
