Hi, my name is Gavin Gee and I work in UK Software Plus Services team performing a number of roles from Architecture to Business Dev.
As a team we focus on helping the Microsoft partner base deliver Software Plus Services to the market.

This blog will be used to post updates, news and information relating to Hosting and Software Plus Services.

The plan is to focus on 2 main areas:

1. Provide information for getting new potential hosters up to speed
2. Provide information for current hosters to develop their business and technology offerings.
