I’m visiting Orlando, FL this week with my family and enjoying the magic that is Walt Disney World.

Awhile back I wrote about using Microsoft Office Live Small Business as a potential business solution for smaller companies, but wasn’t sure how people were really using it or what their results were.

Fitting with my current travel, I saw this case study about how a travel agency has used Microsoft Office Live Small Business as a resource to communication and service their clients. The example is made-up, but the suggestions and solutions are very real. I’ve got 7 years of employment history in the travel industry so much of this type of information is the same challenges I helped our agency work through in a variety of situations.

I’m hoping to help the travel agent that assisted us with our Walt Disney World trip with a website of their own and these suggestions and examples are a good opportunity for me to show them exactly what types of things can be done and how they could benefit.

This article was part of a 6-part series that covered a variety of topics like setting up a website, an online store, contact management, email newsletters and advertising.

Microsoft Office Live Small Business Solution Scenario

Microsoft Office Live Small Business now has over one million users. Is that much of an accomplishment nowadays with so many people on the web?

I also wonder how many people are actually using the service.

Do you use Microsoft Office Live Small Business?

I’ve got an account but I don’t use for it anything. I’m not really sure why I don’t. It may be because I’ve got Office 2007 Ultimate and don’t need anything else? Anything I do online I don’t think I really need what’s being offered by the service. My clients haven’t really had a need for it that I’m aware of at this point. Maybe I should ask them.

Are you one of the 1,000,000 people out there that’s using Microsoft Office Live Small Business? Why do you use it? What are getting out of it?

I’m very interested in hearing some stories for how people are using it in real-world situations to solve real-world problems they’re experiencing with their business.
