Business Productivity Online Suite – Partner Opportunity
Launching in spring 2009, Microsoft’s Business Productivity Online Suites enables a predictable and recurring revenue opportunity for partners, and provides Enterprise Class Software for their customers. Below you will see new examples where Solution Partners have leveraged the Online Suite to create innovate and efficient solutions.
We’re now looking for UK Partners to participate in video case studies to be shown at the global launch at CeBit. If interested please complete the Quick Start, and then contact Simon Gautrey for further details - sgautrey@microsoft.com. To participate partners will need to have a customer running the BPOS suite.
