Free Third Tier Azure webinar tomorrow

I have been fortunate enough to be invited to participate in free webinar hosted by Third Tier titled;

Getting Started with Azure and Making Money Doing It

Amy, Susan welcome Robert Crane to the webinar series. Robert has been a long time SMB IT professional well known for his SharePoint, Office 365 and now his Azure expertise. If you think that Azure is just another hosting platform you are so wrong. Azure is your future with Microsoft and it’s a whole new world. Robert will share with us his tips and a path to success with Azure.

More importantly, the webinar is being hosted by two rockstars in the community, Amy Babinchak and Susan Bradley.

Amy Babinchak is the owner of Third Tier and Harbor Computer Services (an MSP). She is also a Microsoft MVP in Small and Medium Business Server. Susan Bradley is a Microsoft Enterprise Security MVP and forensic accountant. Both Amy and Susan have a passion for excellence in small business IT. These webinars will be chatty with each bringing their experience and technical expertise to the table.

The best thing is that the webinar is scheduled in the daylight! At least for me. Here in Sydney Australia the webinar runs from 10am – 11am on Thursday 23rd of July.

So if you are interested in learning about how you can make Azure your business and learn from the likes of Amy and Susan, with some occasional input from me, then check out the webinar. Remember, it is free to attend!

I hope to see you there tomorrow.

Questions on Windows 10?

I’m doing a series of podcasts with Microsoft Senior Technical Evangelist Jeff Alexander around everything Windows 10.

We have already recorded the first one and this will be posted soon at:

http://ciaops.podbean.com

but what I’m now after is questions from the ‘audience’. What questions about Windows 10 do you really want answered directly from Microsoft? Whether you are an IT Pro or just an end user, what do you want answered?

Please let me know your question on Windows 10 so I can them to Jeff and record his responses and make them available to everyone. You can contact me via email (director@ciaops.com), Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/directorcia), leave a comment here or whatever means you want.

Don’t delay, get me your questions asap because we are recording the next session soon.

Another Cloud Business podcast

Just uploaded the latest Cloud Business podcast that I do with Nigel Moore. You’ll find it on iTunes, Stitcher but also here for direct listening:

http://www.cloudbusinessblueprint.com/podcast/episode-030-how-will-your-customers-change/

In this episode we focus on how change is going to affect your business customers. Who they are and what they want is going to change over time and especially IT customers as automation and commoditisation dominate more of the industry.

We also cover the usual round up of cloud news with some opinions and listener question throw in. Have a listen, subscribe and let us know what you think, we’d love to hear.

Free Cloud Webinar this week

Oh boy do we have a big webinar planned for our monthly free Ask Us webinar this week (Thursday the 21st of May, 2015 from 12.30pm Sydney time). You can sign up now at:

http://www.cloudbusinessblueprint.com/ask-weekly-webinar

We’ll be featuring all the latest updates and announcements from the recent Microsoft Ignite conference as well as peek into the world of Delve and PowerBI if time permits.

There will be plenty of time for you to ask your questions and we’ll do our best to answer, if not show you, the solution on screen. You’ll also be able to hear what others are asking about when it comes to cloud technologies, best practices and business challenges faced. That’s why it is so hugely valuable to attend.

Of course, Cloud Business Community members will be able to view an on demand recoding of the webinar a short time after it completes. That’s just one of the benefits of joining our unique, reseller focused community which also includes community forums, on demand technical and business training, whitepapers, templates, re-brandable content and more.

I hope that you will take advantage of our monthly webinar and also hope that you’ll refer it one to anyone else who may benefit. It is free and packed with heaps of great information.

Cloud Business Podcast–Episode 29

http://www.cloudbusinessblueprint.com/category/podcast/

I’ve been busy with my Cloud Business Blueprint founding partner Nigel Moore putting together another business focused podcast for listeners.

In this episode Nigel and I talking about identifying your most profitable customers. So many businesses we see have no idea which clients are contributing the most profit to their business and are thus focused on servicing the wrong ones. That doesn’t help a business grow.

Our podcast also cover the usual cloud news, business reflections and listeners questions. You can also subscribe via iTunes and Stitcher radio as well as any location where quality podcasts are downloaded.

Listen in, let us know what you think and we always appreciate an iTunes review.

The event will be held at Luna Park, just under the northern side of the Harbour Bridge and is a great opportunity to learn about things such as Universal Windows Apps, Web App Platforms, cross platform development and more. You can register at:

I have already registered to gain access to all this great information, so if you are planning to attend please let me know and we can perhaps catch up to discuss all the great stuff Microsoft is making available to build solutions on.

See you there.
