Who Am I?...

Hi, my name's James and I work for Microsoft UK, based from our Manchester office. I have been working at Microsoft for over seven years, initially joining the Exchange support team at Microsoft UK's Reading HQ and then moving over to the ROSS (Rapid Onsite Support Services) team, when it was first created in the EMEA region in March 2003, part of Microsoft Services. During this time, I have travelled all over the continent and have worked on nearly 200 different customer issues, ranging from implementation problems to critical situations. My current role, as a Technical Lead in the Microsoft Partner Programme allows me to take my experiences and help our Partners help their customers. My technological areas of interest include Exchange storage theory and design, OWA, migration and clustering.
