Greetings!
If you are looking for a way to connect with your customers,
consider taking advantage of the Microsoft SL Pre-Sales & User Group
Support Program. Microsoft will cover the cost to send a consultant
to your user group meeting to provide a Convergence 2008 recap, or
to present on
other
topics such as BIO, SharePoint or Business Portal. Event
planning tools, like email invitation templates, are also available
to assist you with setting up your meeting. To schedule your user
group event, contact Jeff
Suwyn
or me.
Don’t forget to use the other services offered under this program
too! Pre-sales technical support assistance and product
demonstrations are also available. A full list of
services offered can be viewed
here.
I encourage you to take advantage of these free services while you
can - the program is only scheduled to approve requests submitted
through June 2008 at this time.
Best Regards,
Todd Michael
