This site is my way to share my views and general business and IT information with you about Microsoft, IT solutions for ISVs, technologists and businesses, large and small.  
Are you near Exeter, then sign up quickly for the Small Business Ignite Tour as it is coming to you on the 29th August from 6pm

Once again the Small Business Ignite Tour is coming out and this time it is Exeter.  You need to sign-up quickly, so go to http://www.microsoft.com/uk/partner/training/ignite/default.aspx?id=Exeter and sign up for the Small Business Tour (as opposed to the tour with a date in the past).  If you do not know about the Small Business Ignite Tour, then this is the rough agenda:

  • Introduce just how big the business opportunity is in the land of small business
  • Introduce the topics of Flexible Working and Collaborative Business as these will be the basis of marketing campaigns this year from Microsoft into small business customers
  • Demonstrate technologies that you can deliver to give your customers the benefits they demand - such as :
    • working from home or on the road, using the tools in SBS, Windows XP or Windows Mobile
    • Sharing files between workers, customers and suppliers in a natural and secure way using WSS and Office
    • When to consider a hosted solution and when to consider SBS
    • How to stop searching and start finding the right information at the right time, whether it is stored on a WSS site, your local PC or the internet
    • plus many more

If you want to see more about the location, as always, have a look at local.live.com - while this does not have the birds eye tools that the Nottingham event has, it is still pretty nifty if you want to view from Satalite imagery and because it is a web page and not some application you have to load onto your PC, it will run from most browsers.

Dave, I was unable to book this through the website (apparently the whole booking mechanism is down) so I rang the partner help line and was put through to the reservation desk who told me that this event has now been cancelled due to lack of interest :( (but it's only been two days since you posted the message which is the first I knew of the event) It's good to see that Microsoft's right hand is talking to the left hand !!! Ho hum... Damian

Unfortunately you are right.  I was / have been on holiday and while I blogged about this event, it seems it was a little late.  I think you were the only person who tried to sign up to it :-(

If you, or others would attend such an event, mail me and we will get them to put on a new date.

Also, it might be worth contacting Bill Wells (I will send his e-mail seperately to those who need it) to also influence through the local partner group.
