SBSC Beer & Pizza Evening & Resources
Hi all,
Last week I ran a Small Business Specialist Beer & Pizza evening for certified & gold certified SBSC's in the Auckland area. The evening included a sales and a technical presentation on SBS 2008 and some time to socialise and enjoy some Heineken and Pizza. This event represents the early steps in the growth of the SBSC community in New Zealand and while only run in Auckland I have plans to run similar events in Wellington and Christchurch in the coming months. The response to the Auckland session was great and the feedback I have recieved has been very positive. My aim now is to take suggestions recieved at the event and formulate the next sessions accordingly with more focus on community and business growth as opposed to products (although these will still have a presence). As always I welcome your feedback on these things, particularly from partners around the country as I organise future sessions. Email me at t-bradmc@microsoft.com with any ideas or thoughts.
The technical session presented at the Auckland session by Sean Dring is attached to this post and below is the link to some VERY important documents on SBS 2008 migration. At the recent SMB pre day at the Australian Tech-ed the lead TS stressed that these documents must be followed to the letter and are essential for ensuring a successful migration.
