Partners: Please Spread the Sharepoint Love!
With all the buzz around Virtualization, Online Services, and Windows 7, your customers may not be hearing the Sharepoint message....
Last night I delivered a presentation to a group of TDM's in Lakeland, FL around the merits of Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007.
At the beginning of my presentation I polled the audience of TDM's asking for those who were already implementing Sharepoint to raise their hands... I only got two or three. Only about a quarter of the audience was even familiar with Sharepoint technologies.
What does that tell me? That tells that there is still alot of opportunity for Microsoft Partners to go out there make money selling Sharepoint!
When I concluded my presentation, I asked for a show of hands as to who believes Sharepoint could help his or her business and every hand in the room shot up. Tremendous opportunity!
And there are many ways to get your foot in the door.... WSS is free... Sharepoint Online doesn't require a huge infrastructure investment.....
Please make sure you have that Sharepoint coversation!
