What have I been doing lately - ITAP

Some of you may have worked with Microsoft Consulting Services on a project, but the consultant was likely in a technical delivery role.  Many customers do not know that MCS offers strategy consulting as well.

Historically, the ITAP (IT Architecture and Planning) was named something else - EPM, ESC, MTSS, ESC.  The role started as more of a ‘brain on a stick’, but now the role is much more formalized.

I plan on expanding on what the ITAP does and how this service helps customers get more out of their investments with Microsoft in later posts.  Also, I will talk about what its been like going from a deep technical resource to strategic advisor, and the skills it takes to be successful.
