Cleveland does Managed Services; IAMCP
What a great crowd in Cleveland at the TS2 seminar event yesterday! Lots of good questions and great table side discussions about getting started with managed services, how to convert existing customers who are not so eager to move away from time & materials, what tools make the most sense to use, and much more!
I also had the pleasure of having lunch with my good friend Terry Soltzberg who owns a very successful IT practice in the Cleveland area and is on the board of the Cleveland IAMCP. If you’re not already aware, the IAMCP (International Assoc. of Microsoft Certified Partners) is a tremendous organization to be involved with to foster solid business relationships with other complimentary IT providers. As past president of the chapter in NJ, I can atest first hand for the business that can be gained from such a group.
The IAMCP has close to 40 chapters nationwide and is in approx 30 other countries as well. Membership is open to Microsoft Partners of ALL LEVELS, and costs $125/yr or $199/yr depending upon your partnership level. It’s a great investment in your business.
Be on the look out for an event (or several) with the IAMCP chapter(s) in Ohio focusing upon managed services training in early February. More to come later!
