re: Why Microsoft Partners should embrace S+S and still deliver on premise solutions

Vijay Singh Riyait — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 10:14:41 GMT

You see the problem Dave is that people in Microsoft are not articulating the scenarios and opportunities as you do! As you've seen and we've discussed it causes huge problems within the Partner Community. So, how does this get fixed? Do we continue to rely on you or is Microsoft as a whole going to get its act together and start talking in a language that Partners like ourselves can understand and trust?

If S+S is a key strategy by Microsoft then it really needs to up its game on this.

One thing I can say that going forward the SBSC Programme will begin to reflect the above scenarios you have outlined so that Partners will have different routes/specialisations within SBSC. This is one of the things the PALs are going to be contributing to in the coming months and asking for input from the Community.

Thanks for this detailed explanation, it's great stuff!!

If Ballmer or Turner delivered the S+S pitch like this, everyone would be excited and nobody would be pissed.

Job well done Dave!

you are, a lifesaver.

Thanks so much for the help.

Btw, if I may donate my 2 cents, I had a problem of having to be able to choose which version (2003/2007) I would like to open my word files from using the "Open With" option - only one .exe file could be chosen. This problem was quickly fixed when I renamed 2003's .exe file to WinWord03 and voila! I had two options in the "Open With" section.

Cheers!

Had a look at the trial. Looking good.

Use QB2008 after upgrade from 2004. Nightmare!

Interested in availability vis MAPS and migration from QB.

Pricing seems very reasonable in any case.

Will keep an eye on things before jumping from frying pan...

I have had problems importing from Sage v13. Not expecting and answer, just letting you know what my experience is. My import fails with "Diagnostic - [MOA_DM_E2002] The Company account cannot be saved. Tax agencies must post to a balance account.

Error - [MOA_DM_E2001] Migration stopped because of a fatal error. "

Thanks.

Looking forward to a release that supports v13.
