“We’re building a cloud where you decide where and how you want to go to the cloud. As long as you have Active Directory completely deployed, and System Center completely deployed, you can really leverage the common technologies that we have across identity, virtualization, management, and development. And no other company can provide that to you in the cloud.”
- Kevin Turner
No wonder even Kevin Turner thinks that Core Infrastructure is an important area going forward. And the A-Team is already prepared for it. Armed with Presentations, lab demonstrations, presales knowledge and basic troubleshooting; the A-Team is ready to face the partner world.
One of the exciting engagements that the A-Team conducts, are interactions with the partners. The partner community has a lot of technical issues and difficulties that they need help with. The A-Team, with its experience and technical knowledge, assists the partners in getting these resolved.
