Event Title : ExamCram: How to Prepare for the Performance Management Exam 70-556 (Microsoft Office Performance Point Server 2007)

Has your management recently informed you that your firm will be pursuing the new Microsoft BI Competency/Performance Management Specialization…and YOU are one of the consultants that will be taking the exam on behalf of the firm.  Or perhaps you’ve known for some time that you would be taking the exam, and you’ve spent time studying/preparing and now you want to validate that you are well prepared.  In either case, this “cramcast” is for you.  For those who are in the earlier stages of preparation, we’ll be reviewing all of the materials that you should know about as you set out to prepare for the exam (webcasts, Labcasts, instructor led training, books, etc.).  For those that are further along in your preparations, we’ll drill down in a little more into detail on the actual content that will be covered on the exam itself so that you can validate your level of confidence and knowledge in key topics BEFORE the actual exam.  Lastly, we’ll review the US MSPP Back To School Program, under which your firm may be eligible for free exam vouchers.

In this session we will discuss FY09 Customer campaigns, Sales & Marketing Execution and steps partners need to follow to build a successful Microsoft BI Practice . Information on the upcoming and available resources to partners around training and certification  will be provided. The session will conclude with an overview of the newly launched BI competency in the Microsoft Partner Program including prerequisites and benefits associated with it.
