Free “Fasttrack” Architectural Reviews for ISVs in the UK
The Developer and Platform Group at Microsoft UK are pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of free “Fasttrack” Architectural Reviews specifically for ISVs. A fasttrack review is an opportunity for an ISV to lay out their technical, business and architectural problems in front of some of the Microsoft ISV technology team, and gain advice and guidance on choosing the best path for their future development. These are interactive, conversational engagements which typically last for a half day, and have proved very successful and useful for participants in the past, especially at critical junctures in their product planning and evolution.
The set of dates available from now until Christmas 2008 are published online now. There’s more information on what the review actually consists of here, and there’s some points to think about before undertaking a review here which we encourage you to read carefully, and finally, there’s the application page for FastTrack Reviews here. Places are limited so please follow the directions on the site to apply for a review as soon as possible – we anticipate demand for these based on the pilot we have been running the last few months.
IMPORTANT: Fasttrack Architecture Reviews are only open to ISVs in the UK who are members of the Microsoft Partner Program at the Gold or Certified level, or are members of the Empower, Action Pack or Metro programs. If you are not eligible, then this would be an ideal time to join the Microsoft Partner Program.
