What is Microsoft Partner MS101?

Based on our experience with global partners and your feedback, we have developed a “Partner Version” of our Microsoft worldwide field new hire orientation course, called MS101.

Our primary objective for Microsoft Partner MS101 is to enable and provide a jumpstart for our partners on their understanding of Microsoft--covering the Microsoft strategies, products, customer marketing campaigns, and field organizations for key enterprise partner alliance, marketing, and sales contacts to decrease the time-to-opportunities & engagement and to drive wins and revenue for our partners!

This "jump start and update" will enable you to work more effectively and efficiently with Microsoft and will provide you with the information, understandings; learning’s and key contacts that could normally take you up to a year to acquire. Also this provides existing alliances, marketing and sales personnel with an intense update on all the major areas of Microsoft required for you to continue being successful.

Partner MS101 is in its 11th year and has enjoyed very positive feedback from attendees. Further, we have recently refreshed the course content to reflect the Microsoft strategy and plans for fiscal year 2010.

In short, Partner MS101 is a "boot camp" for partners on Microsoft and we are going to provide you with a lot of content, insight, guidance, and advice over several days! In addition to this great content, we are going to balance out your days with some fantastic evening events! These evening events provide you with a great opportunity to network with other partners and Microsoft attendees!

We hope you can join us for a great week at Microsoft! Sit back, listen, engage, ask questions and meet new people! This is your week so take advantage of it.
