Last week I had the privilege to let loose five individuals from four UK web agencies to discuss with Steve Ballmer how they think web agencies could be supported better by Microsoft.

As expected they didn’t fail to deliver frank and honest feedback on what they need in an alliance with Microsoft to allow them ‘to win, drive and grow their businesses’.

Although I won’t go into detail of the topics discussed here one thing in clear the support needed is different to that Microsoft provides at scale already.

Making the alliance work with web agencies is a priority and if you work in a web agency and want better engagement and support from Microsoft please don’t hesitate to contact me so I can connect you the right parts of the business, to meet your unique business needs.

It was clear that some of the activity that we have been has been good and making a difference so my summary of the session - ‘Tries hard but, some progress, but could do better’.
