Presentations from our SBS & EBS Partner training in June
Well The Wayne & I have wrapped up the first round of SBS / EBS training & we've posted the presentations below.
Wayne's presentations in particular will be useful as there's loads of background information never before seen in Australia. Given we're still some months out from RTM, the normal rules apply about changes & updates & yada yada. It's definitely getting close though.
- Robbie's introduction & overview
- Wayne's Small Business Server 2008 deep-dive
- Wayne's Essential Business Server 2008 deep-dive
We reached close to 500 partners in 5 cities via 10 presentations over 8 days & the response was very promising. We purposely went out first to the SBSC & SBS User group folk as our most passionate, knowledgeable partners & I for one really appreciated the open, honest feedback that everyone gave.
We continue to work on our launch plans & will be announcing some more training soon - based largely in part on the feedback received here. There'll be more face-to-face sessions, online courses, webcasts, Live Meetings etc & so make sure to check back here for details.
I'm off to the US tomorrow for the Worldwide Partner Conference where we'll be officially kicking off the SBS 2008 & EBS 2008 launch activities, running through to November. I expect a load of announcements on all sorts of things & so what this space!
Lastly, don't forget to look at registering for the Australian Partner Conference in August & TechEd 2008 SMB Servers Pre-day in September.
Cheers,
Robbie
