About Me
I manage the global delivery of a Microsoft Partner Program benefit for Independent Software Vendors (ISV) called ISV Advisory Services. It is a very exciting technical enablement benefit that was launched in 2005 (press release). At its core, the benefit is designed to help software vendors create compelling solutions on the Microsoft platform by providing ISV's with 10 to 20 hours of advisory services per year. To serve thousands of ISVs worldwide, we have hired a talented and growing group of 50 developer advisors in the US, India, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, China, Korea, Spain, Argentina, and, Italy to provide proactive services such as:
- Customized 1:1 Technology Workshops on the latest Microsoft developer technologies like:
- SQL2005
- Visual Studio 2005
- Visual Studio Team System
- ASP.NET 2.0
- etc.
- Provision of Code Samples
- Legacy to .NET Migration Best Practices
- SQL2005 Migration Guidance

To-date, our global team has served over 3,000 ISVs and has delivered over 35,000 hours of developer guidance. To learn more about the benefit, send an e-mail to isvhelp@microsoft.com.
