The Case for
Being Educated in
Office 365 and Azure!
Harry here.
I’m pleased to announce the Tour de Cloud stops in California in early
October
followed by Florida. You can learn more at here.
First
the “why”
followed by “what” and finally “how” you can participate. I need your
help –
please sign up!
• Irvine – October 3rd
• San Diego – October 5th
• Sacramento – October 7th
• Fort Lauderdale – October 13th
Why?
Tour de Cloud is an independent, outside-looking-inside, traveling
roadshow
that tells it like it is with Microsoft product stack solutions
including Azure
and Office 365. It’s the authentic lectures on this workshop tour that
attracted me and ultimately led to my support for this effort. What we
need
today is third-party workshops that critically assess the technical and
business aspects of Microsoft’s offerings. If you have more questions
than answers
concerning Azure and Office 365, this is your opportunity get answers!
What?
Tour de Cloud is a one-day technical workshop focused on Azure and
Office 365.
The presenter, Grant Thompson, is a day-to-day consultant, MSP, IT Pro
in the
“real world” with his MG Technology business in Seattle. He is not a
Microsoft
employee and is widely considered a credible, bona fide subject matter
expert
on these topics. He prides himself on answering each and every question
– even
if it’s email in the middle of the night! The training is
“scenario-based” so
Tour de Cloud has adopted the “storytelling paradigm” that offers an
end-to-end
solutions approach. That is, you start in the morning and complete a
solution
by the afternoon. Does that make sense?
How?
Tour de Cloud is complimentary – in part because community supporters
are
making this roadshow possible. You can discover more and register here.
If you have
any questions – please call me, Harry, at 206-201-2944.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback on Tour de Cloud – enjoy the
ride!

USED PRINTER ONLINE
With the arrival of cloud computing and a reduction in the use of paper
documents worldwide, the act of printing is becoming increasingly rare
in the modern office. Selling a used printer, buying a new one or
recycling a used printer for cash are all possible options thanks to PowerSource
Online.
Our B2B online platform allows members to buy, sell or recycle their
used IT and Telecom equipment, including printers, laptops, servers,

PowerSource allows users to search for a specific part number, model

if a product is available from our suppliers. By clicking on the part
number or description, a buyer can see the complete product details and
supplier information, providing the opportunity for a quick sale.
PowerSource Online also offers its members the ability to trade used
electronics equipment, including printers, laptops and more, for cash
by selecting the product they would like to trade. Our database
