Engaging with Microsoft UK


Engagement is not for Xmas...it is for life

A really interesting meeting with Microsoft UK this afternoon.

Let's be blunt. John Beer and myself have been around the block a few times when it comes to 'technology engagements'. And Microsoft has always been pretty much at the forefront of these. So trying to find out exactly where we fit in the suitor's pack has always been a bit of a challenge. We do not exactly fit the boxes that Bill built.

Being labelled as a Microsoft Partner is not the end game in itself. Engaging with Microsoft is. So working out a joint road map becomes more important. The problem is, the box might not fit. I think we cleared that up this afternoon.

So memo to self: Beware the boxes......
