Need help getting that Office attach?

Did you know that over 50% of small businesses that buy new systems without Office pre-installed end up installing a copy with in 60 days?  Do you need help capturing that missed sales opportunity? We have made some great changes to our licensing programs that give system builders a second chance to sell Office on a new PC!  With the Office Ready PC program, system builders can now either sell Office with a new PC or pre-install a risk free 60 day trial of Office Professional!   This is a huge new opportunity for system builders.

Here is how it works:

1. System Builder acquires Preinstallation Kit (OPK)

 o    Through Distribution
 o    From www.microsoft.com/oem

2. System Builder installs with a Windows and Office Ready image
3. Customer gets 60-day trial of Office
4. Customer decides they want Office and contacts the System Builder
5. System Builder purchases Product ID from Distribution
6. Customer converts Office Trial with Product ID
