The Microsoft Springboard team, based at our headquarters in Seattle, create really good content on TechNet to help you to understand and deploy our latest technologies. In a way, they are a IT manager's best friend, because they provide useful web guides that provide step-by-step processes for things like Windows 7 deployment.
At last, they're hitting the road, and coming out to join us in Europe, with a free event in Reading on the 1st November. If you're looking for a single day when you can rapidly get up to speed on deploying our latest products included in your Campus Agreement - Office 2010, Windows 7 and the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack - then this is for you.
At the five-hour workshops you will:
- Learn about Office 2010 IT investments.
- Learn about key deployment strategies for Windows 7 and the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack.
- See the opportunities for training and certification in these key products.
- Learn why Windows 7 has received rave reviews from IT organizations and is setting records as the fastest selling operating system in history.
- Gain a clear understanding of the tools, tips and tricks you need now to jumpstart the successful deployment and management of your Windows desktop environment today.
- Meet and network with members of the Windows and Office US Product Teams, as well as local Microsoft Technology Evangelists for technical training, professional networking, and real world guidance
