Irish Partner Blog

I attended the 2nd day of this event and found it a really great day.  It was a good opportunity to chat to some of the Microsoft Partners and also the Microsoft team at the New Horizons stand.  

New Horizons Ireland and Microsoft Ireland were promoting the series of courses which are being subsidised for Microsoft Partners.  A complete list of these courses and the cost savings can be found at https://partner.microsoft.com/ireland/trainingevents  

I managed to take in three of the sessions, and as ever the Microsoft Ireland team who delivered these sessions did not disappoint!  Mark Mulvany, Dave Northey and Patrick Herlihy provided great information, interesting demo's and essential updates that we can feedback to our own customers.  

Patrick's session on OCS and Exchange 2007 was completely full, with people standing in the aisles!  At New Horizons Ireland we have rolled out OCS for instant messaging between our different sites, so it was interesting to hear about OCS R2.

Mark and Dave were as informative and entertaining as ever, delivering sessions on SBS 2008 and Virtualization respectively.

I'm looking forward to hosting some of the Partner training events soon and also attending the next Microsoft Irish Partner Event!
