What Is Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003?
It is a server solution designed by and for small businesses with innovative management tools that create a faster, smarter, and more efficient business environment. It’s a fourth-generation release that’s built around the highly dependable and manageable Microsoft Windows Server 2003 operating system as the core engine, as well as Microsoft Exchange (mail) Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS).
Two editions allow you to buy the capacity you need and to upgrade without a penalty. Both editions come with five licenses.
Ø The Standard Edition ($599) is full featured and the best value for most small businesses. It contains Microsoft Windows Small Business Server™ 2003 operating system, Microsoft Exchange (mail) Server 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services technologies.
It’s rich set of features includes e-mail hosting; secure network, internet connectivity and remote connectivity for you, your employees, or your IT consultants; support for mobile devices; file and printer sharing; lower fax costs with internet fax services; enhanced backup and restore capabilities; and easy creation of intranets and websites for increased team productivity.
Ø The Premium Edition ($1,599) extends the Standard Edition with industrial-strength database, security, and web-authoring capabilities that create the basis to create a portal presence. It includes:
o Microsoft SQL Server™ 2000, [LARRY, IS IT 2000 OR 2003???] offers the ability to host complex databases and contains built-in business intelligence and data mining tools that can grow with your buisiness.
o Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server provides increased security via internal firewall and support for third-party appliances. [LARRY, WHAT DOES THIS DO? FIREWALLS, OTHER???]
o Front Page 2003 (TRUE??? CHECK), an advanced Web site authoring and management tool to get the most out of SBS 2003’s integrated Internet and intranet functionality.
Ø If you add the Microsoft Office 2003 productivity suite, team productivity is further advanced. This is accomplished through powerful new capacities for communication and collaboration arising from higher levels of integration and automation within and across applications -- such as Outlook 2003, Excel, Word, Access, and now InfoPath -- and from the expanded use of XML or Extensible Markup Language. XML makes data live and enables a whole new realm of “smart” features, “smart” documents, and “smart” applications where processes for individual users and/or across teams, are highly automated from beginning to end.
Why Use SBS 2003?
It’s a GREAT value (both editions come with five site licenses, and . . .):
The standard edition ($599): e-mail hosting, instant intranet/web work spaces for enhanced team productivity; secure internet access and remote computing for you or your IT consultants, lower fax costs with internet fax services, automatic back up.
The premium edition ($1,599) adds a big-business strength database server, advanced security, sophisticated Web site authoring and management, and the basis for a portal presence.
Leverage the benefits of running your own server for your own business:
Ø Network up to 75 computers.
Ø Always-on and always-available remote connections from any internet connection.
Ø Simpler, easier, more powerful, more stable, and more secure than SBS2000.
Ø Easily create and integrate your intranet with the internet for high performance “next-
generation” communication, collaboration, and creativity tools.
Increase your competitive edge, whether you produce products, deliver services, are a SOHO worker, an independent professional, or a small and growing for-profit or not-for-profit organization.
SBS 2003 brings the power of enterprise to small business right out of the box via one-click buttons and wizards, document management and team collaboration, and other innovative technologies once found only in “big business” enterprise or customized solutions.
Increase your business’ value, productivity, and quality. SBS 2003 increases the value you produce for your customers and clients, lowers your costs, and increases your productivity and quality. It reduces network costs, simplifies server use, and allows you to do more tasks more quickly and easily.
Establish the server platform needed to harvest the power and productivity of Office System 2003, and other “next generation” integrated smart tools that increase the productivity of individual information workers again, and for the first time, that dramatically increases team and group productivity by making communication and collaboration easier, faster, and more powerful.

DCT’s development focus has the highest future potential for small businesses – the Microsoft .NET framework for developing Web Parts, Web Services, and Web Portals. Portals are the next generation of web presence and tool. They represent a shift from the dead text and live links of web sites to automated databases, smart documents, and smart applications of live data. Businesses will use them increasingly to ________________ which they can not do today and which will soon become critical to business success. The .NET development framework is a revolutionary breakthrough allowing any programming language to run within the .NET framework. Thus, there is no need to abandon existing training, code, and data even while moving forward into the use of more powerful technologies. Web parts and web services use object-oriented programming to create application modules that easily plug in to one another . . . [LARRY!!!!!]
