If you have ever tried to deal with Telstra about T-suite / office 365
you should be prepared to put your brain in neutral and set aside at least
an hour...
Talking from experience, the most trivial request turns into a support
call going around in circles a few times.

Greg, I agree. Peripheral to the Office365 matter, I would like to see
Microsoft with a more prominent “marketing presence” than has been so in
the last many years. But not to the extent and manner of Apple Stores and
the Genius Bar.
Perhaps the 3-year deal with Telstra hinged on Telstra’s large
commitment to ‘cloud’ in Australia, a platform which did require some
selling – as did software as a service. I know the SBIT Pro group members
were annoyed at the Telstra-only model, and I don’t think the addition of
Optus would ameliorate that irritation.
It was interesting to note the 1Tb cloud storage trumped by Google
announcing ‘unlimited’.

I don’t want to see it forced through any reseller. I just want to have
the option to deal directly with Microsoft. Other people in the loop just
complicate support for me. I can do that with Google and with any number of
other global providers, so why not Microsoft?
If I was running a milk bar or a cafe, I might feel differently.
Both options should be available (ie: dealing with a partner if you need
that type of help, or not dealing with one if you don’t need that type of
help). And partners that push the products should be part of the ongoing
return on the products. I used to like the model that some companies used
when ADSL first appeared. Customers could deal directly with them if they
wanted. Partners could be involved in getting people signed up, and if they
did, they were part of the revenue stream from that point on (indefinitely
in relation to those connections).
Bottom line is that I shouldn’t be penalised for being based in
Australia.

Greg

I know the Small Business IT professionals groups around Australia have
been p!ssed off with O365 sales being Telstra-controlled for so long, so
this
http://www.smh.com.au/it-pro/cloud/optus-gearing-up-to-fight-telstra-on-microsoft-365-turf-20140623-zse9x.html
announcement (SMH, today) is good news.
*Optus gearing up to fight Telstra on Microsoft 365 turf *
Optus is preparing to tread on Telstra’s turf in the cloud computing
market after securing a long overdue partnership with Microsoft.
There’s more interesting information in that SMH IT Pro article.
