Mobilizing the Microsoft Stack! (Get a free* Windows Mobile device!!)

Registration is limited, so sign up today!  Here's the invitation, with links at the bottom:

Mobility is HOT!  Business owners are trying to maximize the return on their investment in each person they hire.  More than 2/3 of all workers spend nearly 40% of their time away from a desk and employers need that time to be productive.  Microsoft is investing significantly, teaching each of our partners how to technically integrate and articulate the value proposition of our server stack for workers when they leave their desk.  Now is the time to invest in learning to address your customers most critical need of mobility. 

Resources available to you when you attend this course:
•  Microsoft Partner Event kit with co-funding to run your own mobility event in your area
•  Evaluation Windows Mobile devices to experience for yourself or for your customers the value of Microsoft mobility technology
•  Technical support staff to answer your technical questions on integrating mobility in the IT architecture
•  Over 10K wireless carrier sales people driving business to you to implement mobility solutions
•  Opportunity to purchase Windows Mobile devices at discount prices
•  Increase opportunity for profit though the Wireless Carriers “Master Agent” programs and new services business

Upon completion of this readiness series, you will have a better understanding of how to technically integrate Windows Mobile devices with the Microsoft server technology of Windows, Exchange, CRM, Office, LCS and SQL.  Further, you will be empowered by Microsofts multi-million dollar US investment in driving awareness through our Enable Your Mobile Workforce Customer Campaign.
