May 2012 Recommendations

  • Article

imageEach month, your first-Friday delivery of the U.S. partner newsletter, emailed to you as a benefit of your Microsoft Partner Network membership, contains a list of our recommendations for U.S. SMB partners located in the East Region. We also use this list to update our East Region page on the U.S. partner portal.

These recommendations are in the U.S. partner newsletter delivered Friday, May 4. This week’s role-based training recommendations are for Windows Azure and the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP).

Mother Nature is doing her share to green things up this month, and Microsoft wants to help you find new opportunities that put some green in your wallet, too. Here are our partner recommendations for May:
