SBS 2008 Partner Group Tour

Although Portland and Technology Wizards won't be one of the 15 cities hosting the Tour this year, it is being held up in Redmond this year. Even better it's being held on a Saturday, so we won't have to sacrifice a full business day to attend.

This will be an excellent chance to hear about the upcoming SBS 2008 before it RTM's. As with previous Tours, this one will be presented by people on the SBS Team, so they'll definitely know what they're talking about.

To sign up, visit SBS 2008 Partner Group Tour. Space is limited, so sign up quickly.

Membership Benefits

Technology Wizards give small business owners a resource to find consultants who specialize in Microsoft Networks and Small Business Server. While the benefit to customers is obvious, there is a benefit to members as well.

The primary membership benefits of this group come from three areas. First, many of the top Washington and Oregon Computer Consultants are members of Technology Wizards. We have a very focused group of people who support each other and learn from each other when we get together each month to discuss both technical and business issues. We also have a very active mailing list where members trade information, advice, and are able to ask questions from members. Second, Microsoft supports the group with information, beta software, training, and other freebies. Third, the consultant referral telephone line gives us the opportunity for sales leads.
