Free training on Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) - 22nd January 2009

UK SBSC — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:30:05 GMT

The UK software market is evolving, and customers are looking to embrace the change. Forecasted growth for subscription software is expected to achieve an annual growth rate of +30% during the next three years - considerably outpacing traditional market growth and providing a tremendous resale and service opportunity for Microsoft partners.

In a tough economy, subscription services are more digestible to cash strapped customers. Microsoft's BPOS, launching in Spring 2009, provides a new IT solution for customer needs. For you, it provides an annuity revenue opportunity with incremental implementation, integration, customisation, and managed services opportunities.

Join us at this pre-launch event to gain FREE technical training required to sell and implement this new customer solution.
