Cloud Now Promotion

Q: (from Jake)

As I push to close business for the end of Microsoft’s fiscal year, are there any promotions in market now that the Big Easy and Cloud Easy have lapsed?

A:

Thanks for your efforts and thanks for asking! “YES” we do have a June 2013 promotion announced Friday of last week and retroactively applies to June 1st running through June 30th:
