Microsoft Partner Business Briefings – October/ November 2012
I had the privilege of being able to attend the Microsoft Partner Business Briefing in November of this year, and I felt that it would be good to share the content that we were shown during the day for those of you who were unable to attend or/ do not have access to such events.
